Hello, this video is about a feature request for
this awesome program called XSplit Broadcaster
I'm a Beta tester for it
and I'm submittiong my feedback
is this video form, cause
in the email its kinda hard to
get accross exactly what I was talking about.
There was a feature that worked differently in
how it does in the newer version
and I would like that older functionality
to be restored to the newer version I guess is what I'm getting at
So, uhh, I'll just show you what I mean by that
So as you can see we have both the older and the newer
programs opened, the XSplit broadcaster which is the nice new fancy one
and then the older VH Mutli Camera Studio
and then we will bring over here, we have this chat window that we want to
show up in our stream, in this case
So its easy to do in both of them
but, VH MultiCam Studio currently will only show the windows thats selected and nothing else
So, for instance if we were to have this notepad above the window
VH MultiCam Studio wouldn't show the notepad
It would only show the Steam Chat
Whereas, with XSplit Boradcaster it shows both which is not what I'm looking for
So, I'll just go and show you a real world example of this
So, we go to file here, We'll add a camera
with VH Screen Capture and we have by default it captures the full screen
It's easy to change, we just simply right click setup -> Video capture
The VH Screen Capture Driver pops up then we go over to the capture settings tab
and then we select the window we want it to capture
in this case we just want the Steam chat to show up in the stream
so we'll click it, you know, easily done
In the older version it was more buggy so it has all this extra color we don't want
but I found a easy way to fix it, you just simply delete it
and re-add the screen capture, and cause it was the last window seleted, it takes up the whole border
of the thing, without all the extra color
So, anyways there it is, theres that.
you'll notice that this XSplit Broadcaster is actually above it but it doens't show it Xsplit Broadcaster
which is the functionality I'm looking for, anywho if you bring up the notpad here
it doesn't show up on the screen, so thats good.
But of course this is live, so you can start typing in stuff and it works
So, its not just a picture or anything.
Under XSplit Broadcaster, you can do the same you add
a screen region. way less amount of clicking to do just to use this feature
so thats way nice. So you know we'll select our Steam chat here
and we'll bring that up and it looks good except for the fact that XSplit Boradcaster is actually showing up above it.
and its even more evident if we bring up the notepad here. See
If we move it around it actually shows up in the stream, we don't want that
casue we might acdiently bring up a browser, or we just want that to sit in the background
and to show up in the stream just fine while we're browsing for
I donno, whatever the heck we're browsing for
and it would be nice to not have to desinate a whole region of your screen just for that
You don't have to do that in the VH MultiCam Studio.
So, I'll just bring over these little annotations that I made here
Notice how the 'Test Window,' which is the notepad in this case,
doesn't show up in VH MultiCam
Which is the functionality we are looking for
but under XSplit 'Test Window' is very visible
We don't want that functionality
or at least give a option to change that
cause, you know, some people may want that
Others may not
I'll looking for the same functionality as in VH MultiCam but for XSplit
I would like to see this one, where it shows just the Steam window and nothing else
above it when you move it around in Xsplit
So that the feature request, that's what I was talking about in the email I sent you guys.
So, I hope that helps you understand what it is I'm talking about
And then there's one other feature request that I'll mention here while I'm at it
and thats, when you right click on any video source it shows all this
it has your chroma key and thats a nice feature
But I would like to see that extended even further
so you can select like a little picker thing then you can go over to your video stream
and then select the exact color you want to use as your chroma key
so, you could just click there and it would use that grey color as your chroma key
instead of having to fiddle through this slider, rtying to find the exact color
that your looking for
So, it would make that a whole lot easier. so, thats my second feature request.
Thats all I can think of for now, and by the way
I did go to configure DS devices here
just to see if there were some options that were for configuring it
so it could just show the steam chat instead of whatevers above it as well
It, just pops up with this thing really quick and goes away
So, I don't know if thats a bug in my current version that I have installed here
or if its not implemented or if your not suppost to be able to click that
but, that would probally be the perfect place to put that feature, under Configre DS Devices
Then allow a option to show it where it will just show Steam, or watever window you have selected
even if something else is above it, so it will show that and nothing else
So, I hope that this video helped you to understand what it is I was trying to get accross in my email
So, guess thats the end of my little video here. I'm happy to be a BETA tester
and its a great piece of software so far
I will enjoy it very much
cause it gives you a lot more control over some of the other programs out there
but, you could defiantly add more features, features are good, features are awesome
[haha]
If there's anything else I can think of
I'll let you guys know
But, tahts it for now
those are the two features that I would like to see added into it
and, yeah, good job guys, it's a great little program so far
and, peace out
