Content Nodes

Content nodes are what actually appears on screen. Most accept the same two grouped modifier sockets — Transform (Position/Size/Transform) and Style (Opacity/Shadow/Animation/Hide/Overflow/Spacing) — see Transform & Style Nodes. Nodes with their own Content/As Target output can be wired into a container's Children socket or a Task's own Target socket (see Process Nodes).

Scene

The single sink every scene has — one per scene, can't be deleted. Only what's wired into its Content socket (directly, or via a Shape/Group) actually renders. It also has dedicated sockets for Background FX, Sound, Layout (Ordering, for arranging top-level content), Event (arms the whole scene show/hide), and Timer (how long an event-triggered scene stays up).

Text

Free-form styled text with placeholder support.

• Content — the text itself; type {name} to insert a live placeholder (an Event's {user}/{amount}/{message}/{source}, a Variable's own name, {time} from a wired Clock, {artist}/{title} from a wired Audio Player, {number}/{numbers}/{hash}/{seed} from a wired Random source). The picker button next to the field lists only placeholders actually available given what's wired in.
• Color, Font (any font installed on your system, or the overlay's default), Size, Letter spacing, Line height, Align (left/center/right), Vertical (top/middle/bottom), Bold/Italic.
• Outline — width and color, off by default.
• Glow — outer or inner, color, opacity, and blur, off by default.

Wiring a Roulette Entrants node into Text's own Content socket replaces the template outright with that list's formatted rows — the textarea goes read-only while connected, but every styling field stays yours to edit. Wiring an Audio Player or Random source's Content output instead merges into the existing template (fills its placeholders), leaving the textarea fully editable.

Image

• Image URL — leave empty to show the current now-playing album art automatically; wire a Live Data node's Content output into the node's own Content socket for the same result, explicitly (the URL field goes read-only while connected).
• Upload — copies a local file into the app's own writable storage, so it keeps working independent of any external URL staying online.
• Fit — Cover (crop to fill, default), Contain, Stretch, Original size, or Repeat (tiled background instead of a plain image).
• Radius, Border (width/color).

An Image also doubles as a container — it has its own Children socket, so you can overlay a caption or badge Text node directly on top of the picture, same as a Shape. Defaults to 96×96 until a Size node overrides it.

Video

A short clip, URL only (no upload) — point it at a file already reachable over HTTP.

• Video URL, Radius, Border.
• Loop (on by default), Muted (on by default — browsers, including OBS's embedded Browser Source, block unmuted autoplay outright; pair with a Sound node for reliable audio instead of unmuting this).

Also a container, same as Image — wire content into its own Children socket to overlay it on the clip. Defaults to 320×180 until a Size node overrides it.

Shape

A general-purpose background + border container (internally called "Box").

• Background color (or gradient).
• Shape — Rectangle (with its own Radius field), Pill, Circle, Hexagon, or Diamond (the last two clip to a polygon; a border still follows the original rectangle, not the clipped outline).
• Border — width/color, off by default.

No padding field of its own anymore — wire a Spacing node into its Style socket instead. Has its own Children socket (any content node, including another Shape or Group) and Layout socket (an Ordering node to arrange its children in a row/column).

Group

The same Children/Layout/Transform/Style sockets as Shape, minus every decorative field — no background, padding, corner shape, or border. An invisible wrapper purely for moving, animating, or handing a cluster of content to a Task as one unit without adding a visible card behind it.

Progress Bar

A goal/fill bar with no built-in data of its own — everything it shows comes from what's wired in:

• Current / Target sockets — each accepts one Variable node (Integer/Float); 0 when nothing's wired in.
• Label socket — accepts one Text node, rendered with that node's own full styling (color/font/size/align/bold/italic), not a plain string.
• Its own fields are purely the bar's look: Orientation (horizontal fills left-to-right, vertical fills bottom-to-top), Bar color, Track color, Thickness, Radius.

Equalizer

A bar/wave/dot audio visualizer. Wire an Audio Source node into its Source socket to say which capture device or OBS input drives it — the equalizer itself carries no audio logic, only its look:

• Style — Bars, Wave, or Dots.
• Bars (count, 2–96), Color, Speed, Intensity, Radius.

Self-sizes at a fixed 240×80 until a Size node overrides it via its Transform socket. The in-editor preview animates randomly (real capture happens outside the editor window) — check it live with Test.

Random Pick

A router, not a container — resolves to exactly one of its wired Options each time the scene shows, chosen fresh on every replay. Accepts the same content types a Shape's Children does, including nesting another Random Pick as one of its own options.

• Custom chance off (default) — every connected Option has an equal shot.
• Custom chance on — each Option gets its own editable weight (default 1; 0 excludes it entirely), with the computed percentage shown live next to it.

Carries no size/position of its own — whichever Option gets picked keeps its own wiring (Transform/Style/Target) completely untouched, exactly as if it had been wired in directly.
