3 DIFFERENT Ways Of Adding OUTLINES / BORDERS To ANY SOURCE In OBS!
Add outlines and borders to any source in OBS, three different ways. No overlay needed, fully resizable.
Outlines in OBS are one of the easiest ways to make a webcam or any source pop, and you do not need a custom overlay to do it. In this tutorial I walk through three different methods for adding borders to any source, from the fully customisable options down to the dead simple one at the end.
First up is the OBS Shader Filter method using the border shader, which lets you set the thickness in pixels and change the border colour to anything you like. Then I cover StreamFX with its SDF Effects outline, where you can adjust width, offset and sharpness for a clean result. Both plugins are worth having installed, they are genuinely that useful.
I also show how to keep the border following your source when you crop or resize, using a crop pad filter and reordering your filters, plus a nested scene trick so the outline tracks the source automatically. The last method is the simplest and the lightest on your CPU and GPU, just a color source sat behind your cam.
Whichever way you go, you end up with clean minimalistic borders you can recolour and tweak whenever you want. If this helped you out, a like and a subscribe genuinely helps, and consider joining on Patreon or channel membership to support the content. Cheers.
