How to Create Overlays for Twitch TV Tutorial (OBS Overlays for Streaming)

This tutorial explains how to create overlays for twitch and OBS. This is for people who want to enhance their streams. Subscribe, follow, thumbs up, and comment! Check out our other tutorials.

We go through the basics of creating a PNG file to preserve the transparency of an image file. Although I use OBS to show how an overlay can be used for a stream the PNG file can be imported into any broadcasting software for the same effect. Likewise these files can also be used in movie editing software.

If you don't have photoshop you can use a free photo editing software like GIMP. Here is a link. http://www.gimp.org/ It is an awesome freeware software that is very similar to Photoshop.

Photoshop File Settings:

(HD 1080p Screen Resolution)
File / New / Preset / Film & Video
at the TAB below:
Size / HD TV 1080p

(HD 720p Screen Resolution)
File / New / Preset / Film & Video
at the TAB below:
Size / HDV/HDTVTV 720p
