Finally if you want to check me out on Twitch feel free to give me a shout or ask me any questions whatever Twitch.tv forward slash machine Dana okay let's do this okay so first we need to ready up the export from stream labs OBS don't get confused by this cog here using the scene collections you can export overlay file types. Slops have got a warning here this features intent for overlay designers to export their work to our theme store or export their work for our theme store use it your own risk so I think this is a tool for people to be able to design layouts and stuff within stream labs OBS and then export them to the theme tool there may be ways that you can use these overlay files to import into other programs but when I tested this with stream labs OBS and OBS studio exporting it as an overlay file simply put it as a dot overlay and the imports for OBS studio are adjacent files are XML files that kind of thing so even though you can see the file here exported cleanly I could then upload that probably into the theme shop for stream labs online however would not be able to import this into OBS studio so let's just ignore that for the time being what we need to do here click on your scene collections here remember these are your sources these are your scenes and there are multiple scene profiles that you've got here for any themes that you've installed on stream labs OBS and of course you can interchange between them for example I used to use a synthwave one I used to use in a lot of different ones that I've used over the course of time and I like to keep my stream fresh by installing new theme profiles so this is the one here the clean neon's the one I'm currently using and I want to make sure that that's the one that I'm importing into OBS studio which want to go on to manage all we can see here's an indication that this is the one that's active this is the one that we want to be importing I'm just going to rename this to make sure that it looks appropriate I've named it OBS import here make sure it's the exact one that I want because it can get there's quite a lot of files in OBS studio that you see we've done on that that's the stream labs OBS piece done really so we can minimize that and open up OBS studio so as default within OBS studio you don't have any scenes or sources you have the one simple scene which is where you are supposed to build your scenes and sources from of course we're going to take the short route and import all that information but just to show here that that's where the information will be for your scenes and this is where it will be for your sources we're going to click on scene collections here we've got one untitled scene collection and that's the selected scene collection that we're currently active on as indicated by the tick here we click import OBS studios by default will look for known locations of where stream labs OBS may have placed scene collections and as we can see here the queen neon OBS import is here now I can choose to click multiple profiles here to import them if I want to do that I'm just going to import the single profile for the time being I'm going to click import initially nothing really happens but first you have to click on scene collections and now select the newly imported scene collection now what you got a bear in mind here is all the files for stream labs OBS are already localized on your machine so importing them is not necessarily a case of moving them file transfer process it's simply a process of pointing OBS studio to the files that already exist and that's why it doesn't take long to do this as you can see here we've got all the different scenes and the sources you still may need to configure your cam and your microphone and all the other stuff so you strap in you're probably going to need at least five to fifteen minutes to sort all of that stuff out but broadly that's the work done now and that's taken out a lot of meeting bones of the work that needs to be done to move over from stream labs OBS to OBS studio. There you have it how you can export from stream labs OBS into OBS studio nice and easy if you found this useful once again feel free to thumbs up feel free to subscribe and have a wonderful day.
