You can then use Facecam in other software like Zoom.Īlternatively, if you’re using OBS, you can click “Start Virtual Camera” under the start recording button and then add OBS-Camera in Zoom. Once you’ve applied all your settings, you can press “save” in the upper left and the settings will save to your device.

Using optimized settings in video conferencing software Meaning, you will still have to adjust the brightness slider manually. Also, unlike most webcams, setting auto exposure will not link the shutter speed and ISO.
OBS ADDING DARK NOISE ISO
ISO is brightness (for most webcams this is gain). Shutter speed translates to “exposure” in OBS. Mainly the labeling and numbers will be different. By clicking the arrow in the upper left of Camera Hub, you can hide the now blank preview window and position the window where it’s most convenient.įor the most part, you can control all of Camera Hub’s settings in OBS, but there are some differences. However, you can still use Camera Hub to alter the controls.
OBS ADDING DARK NOISE WINDOWS
Noise Suppression: I will be upfront with you - OBS is not a digital audio workstation (DAW), so its noise suppression filter has a tendency to make your audio sound tinny if youre not careful. In Windows for example, Control Panel->Hardware and Sound->Sound, under the Recording tab, select the device in question (like your mic) and click Properties. This is required to utilize it in OBS or other software. The noise gate filter lets you set a minimum threshold before your mic turns on, which helps cut out the unwanted background noise. The preview window in Camera hub can be turned off by clicking the slider in the lower right. Once we have added our noise suppression, we want to set up our noise gate VST plugin inside our OBS. The higher the ISO, the brighter the image, but it will also increase the grain or noise in the image. Shutter speed determines how much light is let in, but ISO will determine how much that light can affect the overall brightness of the video. With my studio lights on I prefer to keep the shutter speed at about 1/250. So what should you set your shutter speed to? The simple answer is as slow as possible to make the image as bright as you can without decreasing the frame rate or causing too much motion blur. A shutter speed of 1/30th of a second would mean the camera is taking in light for twice as long as it is required to maintain 60 FPS so your video will end up being 30 FPS in reality (and have a ton of motion blur). In addition, a shutter speed slower than the actual frame rate of the device will decrease the perceived frame rate of the final video.įor example, if you were recording a 60 frames per second video that would mean 1 frame every 60 seconds or 1/60.

The downside is the slower the shutter speed, the more susceptile the camera will be to motion blur. Having a slower shutter speed of say, 1/64 will mean that the device can let in far more light than a speed of 1/250. The camera accepts light for a certain period of time, but this is all done internally. Instead shutter speed for video is done digitally. It would not be practical for the shutter to open and close rapidly while filming an entire video. When taking video, things are a bit different.
