How to Import and Export Scenes in OBS Studio !
Importing and exporting scenes in OBS Studio is an essential feature for creators who want to back up their configurations or transfer setups between different devices. Whether you're setting up OBS for the first time or moving to a new computer, knowing how to manage your scene collections can save hours of rebuilding custom layouts, sources, and filters.
To begin, launch OBS Studio. Before you export anything, make sure your scene collection has a clear and recognizable name. At the top of the OBS interface, click on Scene Collection, then choose Rename. Enter a name that will help you identify this scene collection later—especially helpful if you use different profiles for gaming, tutorials, or podcasting.
Once renamed, go back to Scene Collection and select Export. This option allows you to save the scene collection as a .json file. Choose a destination folder where you want to store the file and click Save. This exported file contains all the layout data, including sources, filters, and scene arrangement, but not any external media files—so ensure those are stored safely if they’re not embedded.
To import a previously saved scene collection, return to the Scene Collection menu and select Import. Click the Add button to browse and locate your previously saved .json file. After selecting it, click Open and then Import. Note that the imported scene will not appear immediately. You’ll need to go back to Scene Collection, where the imported name will now appear as an option. Select it to switch to your imported scene layout.
This workflow is especially helpful for users managing multiple content setups, collaborating with other creators, or backing up their OBS configurations to the cloud or an external drive.
