Properties, transform, filters, audio and quick actions, all in the one dock.

Change anything about a source without hunting for the window that does it. Name, position, audio, filters, device settings, all in one dock, in tabs.

And when you have set something the way you want it, right-click it and the command that does the same thing is on your clipboard, ready to paste into Streamer.Bot .

Everything it does

Key features

Every setting for a source in one dock, in tabs
Right-click any value to copy the command that sets it, for Streamer.Bot or raw WebSocket
Right-click a position or size and you get both numbers in one command
Reset a single setting without touching the rest
Search every scene, group and source, or find the ones using a certain filter
Full filter control, including copying a filter from one source to another
Open as many filters as you like in their own windows and work on them side by side
Pull any tab out as its own dock, and it stays there after a restart
Tabs hide themselves when they do not apply, so an audio source never shows you crop settings
The button bar changes with the source: mute, monitor, refresh a browser, media controls

Everything about a source, in one place

Pick a source and every setting it has is in front of you, split into tabs.

Rename it, move it, resize it, change what your camera is plugged into, set its volume and monitoring, build up its filters. No dialog to open, no window to lose behind OBS.

Tabs that do not apply are hidden, so you only ever see what that source can actually do.

Source. The name, the size, transitions and how it blends.

Transform. Position, size, crop, and one-click flip, rotate and centre.

Properties. The source's own settings, like the camera and its resolution.

Audio. Volume, monitoring, sync offset and which tracks it goes to.

Filters. The whole chain, with search, and the settings right there.

Work on every filter at once

Every filter on a source, in a list you can search, with its settings underneath.

Pop any filter out into a window of its own and it stays open while you carry on. Open as many as you like and put them side by side, so you can copy a value from one into another, or line up a whole chain of Move filters and get them matching. In OBS you get one filter window at a time, and you are holding the last one in your head.

Open a filter and its settings are right there.

Six filters open at once, side by side, so you can compare them as you work.

Copy the command, not the clicks

Once a setting is how you want it, right-click it. The command that does the same thing is on your clipboard, ready to paste into Streamer.Bot or send over the WebSocket yourself.

It names the source and the value for you, so there is no guessing at the syntax and no typo in a source name to hunt down later.

Right-click any value and pick how you want the command.

Find any source in seconds

Type part of a name and it finds it, wherever it is buried. Scenes, groups, nested groups, all of it.

You can also go the other way and ask which sources are using a certain filter, which is the fast way to find the one you forgot to turn off.

The whole tree, so you can see where everything lives.

Type part of a name and it finds every match.

Or narrow it down by source type, visibility, or the filters it carries.

Set it up the way you work

Right-click any tab and pull it out as its own OBS dock. Put Filters on your second monitor and leave it there, because it comes back where you left it after a restart.

Pull any tab out into a dock of its own.

Filters and Transform living down the right of OBS, where the rest of your docks are.

The buttons change with the source

Along the bottom is a row of buttons for the things you actually press: mute, monitoring, refresh a browser source, media controls, activate a capture.

It changes with the source, so you are never looking at a media button on a colour block.

The button bar, showing what this source can do.
