Streamlabs

Installing Streamlabs Desktop Overlays

The following steps are specific to Streamlabs Desktop and the .overlay file. Only Streamlabs Desktop can make use of the .overlay file. If you’re using streaming software other than Streamlabs OBS, please follow the steps in the “Overlays” and “Scenes” sections.

  1. Download and install Streamlabs Desktop if you haven’t already
  2. Unzip the files you’ve downloaded onto your computer.
  3. Open/Run Streamlabs Desktop.
  4. Open the Streamlabs Desktop settings by clicking the settings wheel at the bottom left corner
  5. Click on “Scene Collections” on the left of the pop-up menu
  6. Click on “Import Overlay File”
  7. Browse to your unzipped files
  8. Select the “.overlay” file

*NOTE: After selecting the file, it may take several minutes to for all the resource to load. This will setup the transition (if included) and multiple Scenes (Starting, Ending, BRB etc…)

Streamlabs OBS Overlay Install

Streamlabs Alerts

In your downloaded files, open up the standard alert folder.

  1. Click the Alerts Quick Setup link to begin installing these alerts.
  2. If you’d like, choose “Create Widget Theme” and name it something appropriate such as package name. The import link will only override your alert package. This means you can combine these alerts with any other scene collection/widgets you’ve made in Streamlabs. If you want to save your old alerts, it’s highly recommended to do this in a new profile.
  3. Select “Use” for the profile you want to import into.
  4. Navigate to “Alert Box” and copy your unique URL.
  5. Paste this URL as a “Browser Source” in your streaming software.

Once you’ve added this into your streaming software test the alerts to make sure they’re working properly.

Width and Height of Source

We generally recommend setting the size to 1920 wide and 1080 tall (more height is recommended if using messages), however, depending on your stream adjust the size here may work better for you. If you need to scale down, you can do so directly inside of OBS Studio. If you’re using the Streamlabs OBS .overlay file, you may not need to complete this step if your alert box is already added in.

Delaying Text-to-Speech

If you’re planning on using text-to-speech you may need to delay them from being read, as there may be an intro animation and sounds (depends on the pack). To do this, you can change the Alert Text Delay in the Streamlabs base options. If you’re using alert variations (such as re-subs) you will need to  update in the variations as well.

Once you’ve added this into your streaming software, test the widget to make sure they’re working properly.

  4. The page will automatically take you to the Widget settings for the widget you just imported.
  5. Click on the “Copy” button next to the unique URL.

Stream Pack After Effects Guide

While we have prepared this file up to be very user friendly, we do expect that you have experience with After Effects and methods of exporting video files. If you are not comfortable with the software, we do not recommend you include this in your purchase. Here are some basic instructions to get you started:

  1. Once you’ve unzipped your product contents, navigate to the Source Files folder
  2. Open the .AEP file
  3. Select the “@Master Control” composition from the project list
  4. Open the Essential Graphic tab (Window > Essential Graphics)
  5. Tweak these values to your liking
  6. “File > Export > Add to Adobe Media Encoder” each composition as required. You will need to save as a format that supports alpha (.mov and .webm). For webm support in Adobe Media Encoder, you must first install this plugin.

Customizing Your Overlay Colors

Adjustment of colors can be done in OBS Studio and StreamLabs OBS by using color correction filters. If you’re not familiar with filters, please watch this video.
