Youtube Overlays

[Daunt]

Hi I made these youtube overlays for personal usage and thought someone else might want them so I'd be happy to share / help. These are different from stream / twitch overlays as they are meant to be added in post-production, not during.

One's a simple thumbnail overlay which is obviously meant for thumbnails. A lot of the "professional" / regular youtube video posters have their own look so I wanted to make my own. Here's an example.



Excuse the fact that is the caddy... I don't have any photos offhand in the McLaren just yet.

Second I made a simple overlay meant to be displayed before the race begins. So while gridding or during the pace lap is the perfect time. Simply displays driver name and other info in a cool, unique way. Also displays info other people might like to know: start position, qualify time and car number. I thought about a SOF indication too, but personally, until I get better I don't want to display the fact that I'm kicking a SOF 800's ass. hahaha. (Or worse, losing to the same field)



Thoughts? Suggestions?

Dude that looks awesome! Only possible critique I could think of is that band of others is a bit on the small side in the second pic, but wow, looking good...

Thanks shilka. I think for me it might be a good idea. But I plan to always have the B2O logo watermarked in the top left of the screen, as many of our twitch streamers have already.

Now I just need some professional driving to go with my professional-looking graphics.

Duke- I think you said you use Photoshop so here's a layered tiff file of the circular overlay. If you'd like the other overlay as well, let me know. Included is the font used.

What about a live overlay on Youtube videos? I ran into something like this the other day and I thought it was a really good addition to the video:
[video=youtube;x0s6mN5QZv0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0s6mN5QZv0[/video]

I'm not sure how it works though. Maybe you have to stream the race to have the overlay active on Twitch during the race and then later upload the video to Youtube from Twitch.

As a viewer I found it really nice to have all that extra information, gives you a bit more insight into the race besides the driver that actually made the video.

I don't think those are YouTube Overlays Noodle, those are Twitch Overlays.

I'm pretty sure these are streamed originally and then uploaded to YouTube later, very much like Matt Malone does.

Hey Kyle, what is the font you're using so I can dl it and change the title names at my end?

Thanks.

Those overlays are OBS overlays found here http://ir-apps.kutu.ru/#/ . If you need help setting them up, let me know. As far as I know, you don't have to necesarily stream, but at least record the race with OBS.
