I have unlocked the power known as "OBS Stinger Transition Masking" and now I'm passing the savings on to YOU!

What the hell are you talking about?

If you stream using OBS, there's something called a "Stinger Transition" that lets you create custom fades between two different scenes. So if you have a static "be right back" scene separate from a live streaming scene, a transition will fade between the two.

A "Stinger" transition is something OBS added that lets you substitute a video file as the transition fade. Essentially, you'd have a (usually transparent) video file and at a specific point, that stinger video would cover 100% of the stream, at which point you'd tell OBS the time code of 100% coverage so it could secretly swap scenes underneath it.

But then OBS added "Track Matte" which lets you do fancy masking. Now there's a whole complicated process where, if you want full color animated transitions, you have to generate a special split video but that's too fancy for me. What isn't too fancy is just basic mask transitions, like the GIF you see above, and "Track Matte" lets you take the easy way out and do this instead. I promise, it's not hard!

So, I went through and converted my favorite gradient transitions I have for Vegas to work with OBS's Track Matte Stinger Transition Masks (wow, what a mouthful). And! I'm letting you download them and giving you instructions on how to use them. Before we get to how to install and use them, some credits:

How To Install These

Download your chosen flavor:

OBS Stinger Masks [720p].zip

OBS Stinger Masks [1080p].zip

Extract all the MP4 files somewhere. Preferably to their own folder, and possibly somewhere inside your OBS install if you can help it.

Open OBS. You should have a little menu called "Scene Transitions."

If you don't have this visible, in the drop down menus at the top, click on "Docks" and make sure "Scene Transitions" is checked.

With your Scene Transitions panel available, click the + (plus) icon and select "Stinger."

This will prompt you to give your new Stinger transition a custom name and take you to the customization menu.

In the "Video File" field, we just point it towards one of the MP4s you just downloaded and extracted. In this case, I have chosen "Swooce In.mp4"

You can probably ignore everything else, but make sure to check "☑ Use a Track Matte" and under the "Matte Layout" drop down, make sure it's set to "Mask Only." The other two Matte Layout settings are for the fancy full-color alpha transparency video transitions, but we're just doing simple black-to-white masking.

At the very bottom of the menu (I'd have to scroll down on my sample image) there should be a "Preview Transition" button if you'd like to see a sample of what it looks like in motion.

Click okay, and you should be done! As long as the custom stinger you just made is the one selected under "Scene Transitions", every time you change scenes, it will blend between them using the video you selected.

Can I make these any faster? Or slower?

Not within OBS, no. You would have to change the speed of the video file itself. I tried to be mindful of how good these looked at what speeds, but if you think they're the wrong speed, you'll have to crack open a video editor for yourself and figure out how to change the playback speed.

And, obviously, if you have even minor experience with video editing, you can probably grasp the concept of how this works pretty easily, meaning it should be pretty easy to make your own stinger masks with all kinds of fun patterns. As long as it goes from black to white!

You could also be a psychopath with Adobe Premiere and learn how to do the full color animated transitions too, if you want. This seems like a pretty decent tutorial on how to do that, but like I said, that's way too much work for me.

GUMBALL WATTERSON from THE AMAZING WORLD OF GUMBALL

JUSTIFICATIONS:

"Ok this is a bit of a weird one but hear me out here, I'm a certified Gumball scholar. Gumball (and Darwin) dress up as girls several times over the course of the show and never really show any discomfort over it, and also Gumball has this entire episode dedicated to Eradicating her deadname after it comes alive and takes on a persona of its own. Like ok I don't want to summarize the plot of the entire episode (it's called 'The Name' if anyone wants to watch it themselves) but her deadname literally manifests as an alternate personality douchebag that begins altering her memories and erasing her true self because she isn't "cool enough" and the way she defeats this is by literally changing her legal name to "Gumball" which is y'know a nickname she presumedly chose for herself. Unfortunately all this potential subtext is somewhat undercut by one of the running gags of the episode being a very transmisogynistic joke, but I digress. Anyway she's also girlfriends with the other extremely blatant trans allegory, Penny, whom is so goddamn trans-coded that I could (and probably will) make an entire separate post about it. So in conclusion Gumball should take some estrogen so she can be t4t bi4bi with her magical shape-shifter fairy girlfriend <3" - @jam-n-jay

terribly sorry if this is a weird question but i would LOVE to hear more about wasps . funky little dudes

wasps are a relatively new species in terms of insect evolution, having appeared in the jurassic period alongside the first dinosaurs. there are hundreds of thousands of species, which could include ants and bees depending on your exact definition. they're all included in the group apocrita, or the "wasp waisted" hymenoptera. they are some of the most successful insects on the planet.

DID YOU KNOW?: the stinger of apocrita is a highly adapted ovipositor, the organ used for egg laying.

STEP ONE: their ancestors, the sawflies, had evolved a serrated ovipositor that could bore into plant material as a safe place to lay their eggs.

STEP TWO: the first wasps would use the ovipositor to instead lay their eggs inside of other animals (parasitoidism), which then provides the developing young plenty of food. many of these wasps would develop a unique variety of venoms to aid in the capture of prey, often by paralysis.

DID YOU KNOW?: there are more parasitoid wasps than any other kind of wasp, with an estimated 100,000 species! this includes the iconic cicada killer wasp.

STEP THREE: the transition from egg laying to defense is not entirely understood, but is believed by some to have been a direct response to predation by vertebrates. if you think about it, it's not all that easy to sting through a tough exoskeleton (though it can be done), it's much easier to sting soft, fleshy things that are trying to eat your delicious grub children. these wasps no longer lay eggs with the ovipositor, instead having an opening at the base of the stinger. the venom would be adapted to illicit a pain response, a harsh lesson to not mess with wasps!

DID YOU KNOW?: male wasps CANNOT sting as they do not have an ovipositor. though, some males will still mimic stinging, or even have pointed abdomens to help sell the illusion.

QUICKFIRE ROUND:

while wasps are famously eusocial and will often live in large communal hives, the vast majority of wasps are solitary and live on their own.

the largest species of wasp is the northern giant hornet, who's queens are around 2 inches in length. the smallest species of wasp is also the smallest insect ever! dicopomorpha echmepterygis males have been measured as small as 139 micrometres in length.

its common knowledge that wasps can sting multiple times and honey bees cant. this is a unique adaptation of the honey bee, who deliver a more potent sting by leaving the stinger embedded in the victim as it continues to pump rounds and rounds of venom. unfortunately, the stinger is directly attached to many vital organs, which are then damaged in the process, causing the honey bee to die.

insects breathe by absorbing oxygen directly into their "blood". wasps aid in this by rapidly expanding and collapsing their abdomen to force air in and out. if her butt is vibrating, shes just taking a breath :)

the iconic coloration of the wasp, usually yellow and black, is part of their defensive strategy! this is a form of aposematism, the advertising of danger to potential predators. they want you to notice them, so you know to steer clear!

the coloration is SO iconic that thousands of insect species mimic it in hopes of also warding off predators. this includes flies, moths and butterflies, and even their own ancestors, the sawflies.

parasitoid wasps are very specific in their choice of prey, likely due to the unique cocktail of venom they must possess to influence any given species. for any arthropod, there is a species of wasp that specializes in parasitizing THAT specific arthropod.

because i know some people are wondering, the venom of parasitoid wasps can only effect arthropods, there will be no wasp based mind control within the next few million years. some parasitoids have been known to sting defensively, which is still quite painful depending on the exact species.

some wasps are HYPERPARASITOIDS, meaning they will lay their eggs on other parasitoids that are already parasitizing something. its parasitoids all the way down.

one of these hyperparasitoids is the velvet ant. despite it's common name, they're actually a species of wasp with flightless females. the males do possess wings, and in some species, will assist the female by carrying her to an environment with better resources.

the venom of gall wasps will, when inserted into a tree or other vegetation, cause it to grow a mass, known as a gall. basically a bootleg fruit, filled with nutrients. these wasp galls will then safely house the wasp's young which eat it from the inside out, before emerging as adult wasps.

obviously, theres wasps that parasitize the gall wasps inside the gall.

fig wasps are the only animals that can pollinate figs, and do so by crawling inside to lay their eggs before dying inside the fruit. well, the only animal other than humans, which find figs quite tasty but don't typically enjoy eating dead wasps.

i probably wont ever get a better opportunity to share this information, sorry: the queen honey bee mating with a drone is audible to the human ear, making a popping sound. the drone's endophallus (penis) is violently detached in the process and he dies soon after.

lastly, lets just marvel at the beauty of the wasp. they have some of the most striking appearances of any animals on earth.

i am just fillled with awe when i look at them. a powerful and intimidating predator that takes great care in raising the next generation. perhaps my favorite animal.

FINALLY I wanted to get these 3 done in the same image because- they a team so XD Anyways, Team Chaotix. Yes, they're all adults here, they just look small in comparison to Vector bc- obviously. I also headcanon Charmy as ftm bc of his stinger. They didn't question him saying he's a boy when he was a kid so he might actually full blown believe he's always been one and there was no transitioning needed he just is as he is. Also also with Charmy, I wanted him to have the two extra limbs that comes with being a bee lol. Idc if ppl think it's weird I think it's silly and fun. He's also just kind of a tiny guy. Vector is peak to me already, so he had few changes, just altered his headphones + gave him a head spike to go along with the others. Espio the main thing i wanted with him was to add an extra horn to show he's aged + mix the different purples I've seen him with. Also lizard nostrils. Drawing this also made me realize they all have yellow eyes. It was @firecurls-27 who got me to draw them so you can thank her XD

Tac Talks Coasters - Post 63: #107

Invertigo at Kings Island!

<- Previous | Start | Next ->

Opened: 1999 Manufacturer: Vekoma Height: 131.3 ft (40.0 m) Speed: 50 mph (80 km/h) Length: 1,013.8 ft (309.0 m) My most recent ride: 2019

When I first rode Invertigo back in 2019, I got off of it thinking "that was the most middle of the road, I-have-no-strong-feelings-about-it coaster I've ever done." That's not really a good or bad thing, it's just a very middle of the road ride that didn't really do anything for me.

Going into Invertigo, the only other inverted Boomerang I'd done was Stinger at Dorney Park. Those of you who have kept up with my TTC posts will remember Stinger being in my bottom 10 overall coasters, so needless to say, my expectations for Invertigo going in were not very high. I was glad to see that Invertigo tracked a lot more smoothly than Stinger did, which I would guess is due to the fact that Stinger was relocated, whereas Invertigo is still at its original location (it's the only Invertigo model from Vekoma to never have been relocated actually).

Like pretty much all Boomerangs, inverted or otherwise, Invertigo does pull a lot of strong forces, especially in the inversions. The backwards pass is also more disorienting than the forward pass, especially if you're sitting in a backwards facing row. That's also the ride's biggest downside however, since when you're going backwards, you can't brace yourself as well for any of the incoming elements. The ride's restraints are big and bulky and can definitely provide a lot of headbanging if you're not ready for what the ride throws at you. Like I said, Invertigo is smoother than Stinger was, so headbanging is not as pressing of an issue here, but the transitions on the cobra roll in particular can be jarring just because of how the track is profiled.

In general, Invertigo is not a good ride or a bad ride to me, it was just kind of okay. Like I said at the start, it's very middle of the road in my experience. It's a bit of an odd fit at Kings Island left over from the Paramount days and I could se this being the next ride to be taken out from the park whenever that may be.

Thanks for checking out today's coaster post! Keep an eye out for tomorrow's coaster!

[byany-othername]

Ally mentioned a Nat 20 roll that broke Brennan/almost made him quit and I’ve been on the edge of my seat every episode. What if it happens next episode? The very first roll in the Vulture Dimension is Ally asking “if I have enough doubt and ask Cassandra to bring us back and roll a Nat 20 can we just leave?” and then they do and this whole battle set and dome projection transition and planting vultures on all the battle maps waiting for his players to take the bait is all for naught. Just a 2 minute appearance and an end stinger.

(Though really that alone is fantastic enough)

No Time To Spy: A Loud House Movie Deep Dive (Part 1)

Kinda On The Nose To Play An Ad For The Movie I'm About To Watch Before I Watch It, Don't Ya Think?

Do You Think This Was Meant To Be A Holdover From When The Paramount Logo Would Transition Into The Movie Indiana Jones-Style?

I'm Just Spitballing Here.

This Scene Goes Hard When Paired With "Nightvision" From The Kick-Ass Score.

"Have I Ever Steered You Wrong"

Things I Was Hoping Paula Would Say.

Do The Goons Kinda Look Like Syndrome's Soldiers In "The Incredibles" To You?

"My Beautiful Wife Schmoofy-Doofy And I Will Own All Communication And Rule The World"

"Watch It, Stinkin'"

Is It Just Me Or The Captions Misspelled It As "Stinkoln"?

Oh My God, She Killed Her Dad! You Bastard!

"Look At The Bright Side, Now You Have Satellite TV"

Not Only Is The Song Great, But The Sequence Is Very Well-Done, I Just Wish It Was Longer, Like A Regular James Bond Intro Like It's Supposed To Be Parodying.

Also, As A Little Goodie:

Will Somebody Sell Me A Freakin' Car?

Also, Why Does She Look Like If Pearl From Steven Universe Got A Tan?

Kinda Laying It On Thick There.

What's Sergio Doing Here?

I Wonder If This Is What Went Down:

"Seeing As This Essentially Pulls From James Bond, How Many James Bond References Will We Be Doing?"

Even When It's NOT Him, There Is No Escape From Flip.

Obvious Villain Is Obvious. Ding.

This Scene Goes Hard When Paired With "Omen" By The Prodigy. I Wonder What Other Music From "Kick-Ass" Goes Well Here.

Does Anyone Find Odd How She Managed To Find The Camera And Cargo Shorts So Soon?

You Gotta Appreciate The Moments Where His Man-With-A-Plan Abilities Are Put To Use After Some Quick Thinking. He's A Batman-Level Genius.

"But My Funky Foot Fungus Fragrance, That Was My Best-Seller"

Probably Because Joss Whedon And Dan "Get In The Van" Schneider Bought It In Bulk.

You Gotta Dig Back Up The Song Somehow.

"I'm Myrtle"

Here's One For The Stinger.

Ham Hand's Still Alive?

"Can We Get A Quick Pic With All The Bodies Behind Me"

Never Change, Loud House.

You Gotta Love The Moments Of Satire The Franchise Does Every Once In A While.

I Know This Is Mostly Pulling From James Bond, But This Chase Reminds Me Of The Paris Chase From "The Bourne Identity" And The Rooftop Chase From "The Bourne Ultimatum" (Which Is The Best Bourne Movie In My Opinion).

You Know What, Maybe's She's Not A Bad Guy After All, She Just Couldn't Read The Room Is All...
