BEST OBS Capture for VtubeStudio (Spout2 Transparent)
Spout2 is the lightest OBS capture method for your CPU! If you arent using it, you should swap over ASAP. In OBS, this method will support multiple senders (you can specify which one to capture). It also supports transparent capture, meaning NO pesky background, and NO Vtubestudio menus!

ISSUES:
⇢ If you get "Error opening file for writing: c:\ProgramFiles\obs-studio\obs-plugins\64-bit\win-spout.dll" you should go to 3:11 for manual installation instructions. You can probably unpack this directly into the folders but I did it by dragging.
⇢ If "sourcename" or "Spout2 Capture" are not available as options, it may be because PRPRLive's plugin is disrupting it. Delete "prpr-library.dll" from your plugins folder to fix this.
⇢ Spout2 VtubeStudio/OBS plugin as of 3/6 will reset to "mirror source" occasionally, this is apparently going to be corrected in the next update!
⇢If you actually put the data folder in the right place (manual install only) then you won't have labeling issues like me (in the video i put mine in a subfolder on accident)

No generative AI was used in the creation of this video. I do not use generative AI to create my videos, their scripts, nor the assets included in the video. Generative AI is built and runs off of user input data, including YOUR OWN! You should NEVER use services such as StableDiffusion and ChatGPT. They are harnessing your information! Generative AI is horrific for our planet. PLEASE do your research!
I do NOT consent to this video being used to train generative AI. I forbid AI training using my videos, my vtuber's appearance/likeness (and the artwork used to make it), my scripts and dialogue, and my voice (including my pitch, cadence, and intonation).
