How's it going? So you clicked on this video for one reason and one reason only. So you want that little timer in the bottom corner. Perfect. I'm going to teach you how to do it. No marking around, no nothing. Straight to the point, let's go. So first things first, you want to go to live split. There's going to be a link to this page in the description, so click on that. You're going to come here. You click this bad boy. It's going to start downloading. Next, you want to want to create a new folder on your desktop and drag this zip file into it. So if you're going to brand new folder, then what we're going to want to do is we're going to open this bad boy up and drag everything inside into this brand new folder on your desktop. Easy done. Next, we're going to want to open up live split by double clicking on this eXC file. It's going to bring up this pop up window. Okay, this is your timer. This is the basic of the basic. You're going to open this edit splits. The now is where all the fun stuff begins. So now we've opened live split. What we're going to do is choose the game. We're going to type in a Minecraft. Well, next is the run category. Don't have to put this in. It's just a little subheader to subtitle that you can put in. After you've added in the game name, as well as the category that you're going to be running, I'm going to be adding in splits. Split's a way of breaking down the game into smaller segments in order to track your progress throughout the run. For example, we're going to have four splits in our Minecraft speedrun. So what we're going to do is we're going to add four segments. We've already have one. We're going to insert below two, three and four. Next, we're going to type of the splits overworld, nether, n portal search and endadragon. Now if you want icons next to your splits, like I have right here, just double click on this icon. Choose the file that you're after, click open and it will be all set to go. Now, these are the icons that I have chosen for my splits. If you would like this same, you want to add this code in the description down below, track me a message there and I'll send them over to you. So we only have four splits. However, there's multiple different spaces here. Now to get rid of that, right click on it, click edit layout, layout settings and then I'll come up with this window. If you then never go over to the splits tab, you'll see the total number of splits. We actually don't want this many. We only want four for Minecraft. So we're just going to get this down to four and as you can see, it's shrunk considerably. Now if you're looking to not have a small box like this, but instead of a horizontal line, you're more than welcome to do that as well. Most of the other windows and the layout settings are pretty self explanatory, so I won't be explaining that. Now if you want to add some more spicy things to spice up your speed around time, you're more than welcome to hit the plus button. Very through a list of these different things and you can see what you'd like. For example, if you want a more detailed timer, go into the timer menu, click detailed timer and there will be a detailed timer. And then get rid of the other one by pressing the minus button. And that's how you do that. You can even add sound effects under the media and then sound effects panel, which will allow you to add your own MP3 files after completing, say, a segment or a split or even completing a run. Just add a little bit more customization. And one of the last things we're going to want to do is add our own hotkeys. Right click on the window, click settings and now come up with a hotkeys window. Now the first five settings are going to be the most commonly used, but for this tutorial, we're just going to do the first three. To change the hotkeys, click on the setting and then click the button that you want to change the hotkeys to. For example, mine's going to be insert. Next, reset. This reset seems higher run and brings the timer back to zero and undo split is quite important because sometimes I do a little bit of fat fingering and I press the start or change split. And that will move me onto the next split by accident and we're going to want to undo that. So for example, undo split shall be paid up. Now make sure to choose uncommon keys so you don't accidentally press these keys during the speedrun. Next, I'd recommend turning on global keys right here. This allows you to press the same hotkeys and it will affect the timer no matter which window is in focus. So whether you're alt tabbed into the game or alt tabbed out of the game, those hotkeys will still work. You're more than welcome to resize the window at any time by dragging the corners of the window. Next I'm going to be explaining the different colors in the split. Now the blue color basically means you have finished the speedrun. Now that you've got an appersonal best and successfully completed a run, you will now see your personal best times for the splits on the right side. If the number is positive and red, that means you've been going slower than you were in your personal best run. If the number is minus and gold, that means you have golded that split and it's the fastest you've ever completed that segment of the game. If the number is minus and green, that means you are ahead of your personal best by the indicated amount shown. Now sorry for the stream section here but we're going to import the live split window onto our OBS scene so we can then see it on our stream. First things first, we're going to want to click the plus icon just down here, click window capture, then click on create a new window and call it live split, click OK. Now you're going to want to make sure to choose our window and make sure it has live split chosen. And this will allow us to see our live split window on our stream. The live split on the left is the one that you can see through OBS. The one on the right however is the one that I can see on my desktop. Now by changing the window size of live split on my desktop, it actually changes the window itself on OBS. So that's a little bit of a convenient way to change the dimensions for OBS. Now if you're interested in making live split a little bit transparent like other streams do, there isn't actually a way inside of live split to be able to do this. We're going to have to do a little bit of a workaround. First, right click, then go to edit layout, then go to layout settings and change the background color. Me personally, I find that the dark magenta color 255 0 255 works best. So I'll change that to that if you haven't already. If you find that the magenta is too similar to one of the icons that you have currently like my nether portal, then maybe this dark green might work for you instead. Next, go to preview segment, go to vertical, then choose plane and bring the opacity right down, then do the same for title. This is coming back to OBS, you're going to click on live split, right click, filters, plus add chroma key. It will automatically default to green however you're more than welcome to change that to the magenta that we made earlier. Otherwise choosing a custom color, select color and then pick a color, anything on your screen will also work. Now as you can see, because the green was too similar to the icons that we already have, it has actually removed some of our icon and green screened that out. That is why it's quite important to find icons that are very different to the background color that you're going to be choosing. Now that everything's been sorted and you've got everything set up the way that you'd like, right click, click save splits and then also save layout. So that way next time you open up live split, everything is not reset back to square one and you'll be good to go.
