Stream Magic Live! How To: Create a Custom Camera Mask for OBS + Matching Frame (using GIMP!)
No longer do you have to be a 16:9 or 4:3 rectangle or, if you’re extra fancy, a square – today, I’m going to show you how to use GIMP (so you don’t have to spend any money) to create your own custom camera mask so you can be any shape you’d like – AND as a bonus, I’m going to cover how to create a perfect border to match!
If you want to get ready ahead of the stream, you can Download and install GIMP (the free version of Photoshop https://www.gimp.org/downloads/)

First we’ll make an awesome mask and I’ll explain the whole process so you’ll be able to make yourself into any shape that you can imagine going forward. Then, we’ll make an awesome matching frame that will line up perfectly – GIMP has some handy tricks that make this a breeze! Finally, we’ll head on into OBS and I’ll show you a bit of best practices scene nesting and we’ll create a scene dedicated to your camera and apply the mask and frame to it. Then you can add that camera to any of your live scenes and have a blast!
