To apply video filters to a video source in OBS, follow these steps:

1. Open OBS and add the video source to your scene.
2. Right-click on the video source and select Filters.
3. Click the + button to add a new filter.
4. Select the filter you want to add and click OK.
5. The filter will be added to the list of filters. You can click the Up and Down buttons to change the order of the filters.
6. To configure the filter settings, click the Configure button.

The video filter will now be applied to the video source. You can preview the video with the filter applied in the Preview window.

Here are some examples of common video filters that you can use in OBS:

• Color Correction: This filter can be used to adjust the brightness, contrast, saturation, and other color settings of your video.
• Chroma Key: This filter can be used to remove a specific color from your video, such as a green screen. This is often used to create special effects, such as superimposing the broadcaster over a different background.
• Crop and Scale: This filter can be used to crop or scale your video. This can be useful for adjusting the aspect ratio of your video or for removing unwanted elements from the frame.
• Sharpen: This filter can be used to sharpen your video. This can be useful for making your video look more crisp and clear.
• Noise Reduction: This filter can be used to reduce noise in your video. This can be useful for making your video look more professional.

You can also use multiple filters on the same video source. For example, you could use a Color Correction filter to adjust the brightness and contrast of your video, and then use a Chroma Key filter to remove a green screen.

To remove a video filter, simply right-click on the filter in the list of filters and select Remove.

Here are some additional tips for using video filters in OBS:

• You can use the Preview window to see how the filters are affecting your video before you go live.
• You can also use the Mixer window to adjust the level of each filter.
• If you are using multiple filters, it is important to experiment with the order of the filters to see how they interact with each other.
• You can also use third-party plugins to add additional video filters to OBS.

With a little practice, you can use video filters to improve the look and feel of your live streams.
