Exporting and importing individual macros

WarmUpTill edited this page Feb 3, 2024 · 2 revisions

Exporting / importing individual macros can be useful if you want copy individual macros across different scene collections or OBS instances.

Workflow

First mark the macros you want to export and right click in the macro list to select the "Export" functionality.

Export1

Now copy the contents of the dialog that pops up, which will contain the information about the selected macros.

Export2

In the scene switcher instance / scene collection you want to import the macros in right click anywhere in the macro list and select "Import".

Import1

Now paste the content you copied earlier in the dialog that opened up and click OK.

Import2

The macros will now be added to your macro list.
In case a name conflict with an already existing macro comes up you will be asked if you want to rename the new macro or skip its import.

Limitations

If an imported macro is referencing scenes, sources, transitions, or similar items, which do not exist in the scene collection, this information will be lost upon import. So, for example, an action switching scenes might no longer have a transition type selected if the particular transition type does not exist in the scene collection into which the macro was imported.
