Scenes, layers and transitions

A scene is one full screen your viewers can see, such as your game with your camera in the corner, or a Be right back screen. A layer is one thing placed in a scene, like your camera or a picture. Layers stack, so a layer higher in the list sits on top of the ones below it.

Scenes

TRBS starts with four scenes under Scenes: Starting soon, Main, Be right back and Ending.

1. Click a scene in the list to switch to it. The picture changes straight away, and if you are live, viewers see the change too.
2. To make a new one, press Add scene.
3. To rename the scene you are on, type in Name of this scene.
4. To get rid of the scene you are on, press Delete scene.

Layers

Each scene has its own layers, listed under Layers.

1. Press Add layer and pick what to show. Add your camera, game, screen or a picture explains each choice.
2. Drag a layer in the picture to move it. Pull one of its corners to make it bigger or smaller.
3. Each layer in the list has buttons beside its name:
   • Edit opens its settings, such as size, crop and how it looks.
   • Hide takes it off the picture without deleting it. Show brings it back.
   • Up and Down move it above or below other layers.
   • Remove deletes it from this scene.

You can also right-click a layer in the picture for Bring forward, Send back and Reset size and position.

Transitions

A transition is what viewers see while you switch scenes.

1. Under Scenes, open Transition and pick Cut for an instant switch or Fade for a smooth one.
2. With Fade, set how long it takes in Duration in ms. 1000 is one second.

If something goes wrong

• A layer is missing from the picture. If its button says Show, the layer is hidden: press it. If it says Hide, a bigger layer may be covering it, so press Up.
• I added a layer to the wrong scene. Layers go into the scene that was selected when you added them. Click the right scene first, then add it again there.

Next: Add your camera, game, screen or a picture.
