Having issues with transparent background for lower third overlay virtual screen. It seems like it has a transparent background, but when the virtual screen is brought into OBS studio via ndi source, the transparency reverts to just a black background. Any idea if this is on the OBS side or on the Proclaim side? I was not having issues before updating OBS to OBS 28. Now on OBS 29 but the transparent background is still not functioning. How do i check that Proclaim is outputting the transparent background properly? Any input on what may be needed in OBS to get it to recognize the transparent backgrounds? Thanks for any help!

    do you have multiple Virtual Screens? They are represented as tabs in edit view, and a drop-down selector in preview. Based on what you are saying, I’m wondering if you have a Video Input enabled by accident. Live video shows above the transparency but behind everything else. You can check in Settings > Video Input. (You have to be off air to change the setting)

    Yes that was it....thank you! Sorry for the confusion! Now to check and make sure it works in obs, which I am having plenty of difficulty with for ndi. But we'll get it sorted.

    glad to hear it! You are not the first one to have that bite them. Perhaps we need some kind of indicator in the preview view to help draw attention to this.
