How to Create Snappy Scene Transitions in OBS (No Fade Effect)

Why Snappy Transitions?

Want your stream to look more professional? Tired of that slow fade between scenes? Let me show you how to make instant cuts between scenes using hotkeys.

What You'll Need

OBS Studio

A keyboard with numpad (recommended) - easier to access with your right hand close to your mouse

Setting Up Your Hotkeys

Open OBS

Click Settings

Navigate to "Hotkeys" section

Find your scenes (example: "Screen + Me" and "Me Focus")

Assign unique hotkey combinations

Recommended Hotkey Setup

Scene 1: Control + Numpad 1

Scene 2: Control + Numpad 2

Pro Tips

Avoid using common keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl+C)

Use numpad keys to prevent conflicts

Test your hotkeys before going live

FAQ

Q: Can I use regular number keys instead of numpad?

A: Yes, but numpad is recommended to avoid conflicts with other shortcuts

Q: Will this work with more than 2 scenes?

A: Absolutely! Just assign unique hotkeys for each scene

Q: Do I need to restart OBS after setting hotkeys?

A: No, hotkeys work immediately after setting them

Final Steps

Test your new hotkeys by switching between scenes.

You should see instant cuts instead of fades.

That's it - you're ready to stream with professional-looking transitions!
