Move Value is the life blood of my stream. I use it to move stuff, rotate, zooms, and even for rudimentary animations, and I would love it if I could use this filter for true transform values as well.
(Anecdote/reasons I want this, skip to =!= for the idea/request)
There is one feature I have to dance around, though. I cannot actually change the transform of the items fluidly. For rotation I use a 3D Transform layer in StreamFX and use the rotation in there, then power it by Move Value. For a whole screen zoom I do this too, but this is where we get in the first issue: it gets blurry if you use 'scale'.
Second, if you want to zoom a source that's normally smaller, but a redeem or a macropad press restores its true size, this will not only make the full size blurry in 3D Transform, but it will also crop it to the bounding box of the default (smaller) size.
This last one can be remedied by putting it in a folder and then using 'move source' on it, but this leads me to the use case I ran into yesterday. I made a collection of sources in a group and I wanted to move them at the same time. This one was specific to me, but a general case could be 'a web source webcam border and the webcam'. If I want to use 'move source' on the group, it needs to be done per target because folders can't be nested. I ended up with a set of 'size increase/decrease' pairs that I launched simultaneously. Plus I had to add panning to align the left corner because these items moved individually, they showed gaps if I didn't do this. This is something one can break their head over trying to fix because padding to the largest item's left corner isn't something that regular users use. Since a webcam's fancy border is always bigger than the bounding box, this could be a recurring problem, and it still leaves me with a lot of individual filters rather than one that moves the transform of the group itself, and one that moves it back.
=!=
So yeah, there are usually work-arounds, but I would love it if Move Value could reach the source's transform, be it when no filter is selected, or as a separate option in the drop-down. This would:
And this as a whole will greatly reduce the barrier of entry to some OBS wizardry and slightly elevate the ceiling as well (or possibly greatly, in a way I haven't anticipated).
Thank you for your time
