Lens Filter
Windows
Starting with PRISM Live Studio Beta, Lens is provided as an Effect Filter instead of a separate PRISM Source. Apply the Lens Filter to a Video Capture Device or Mobile source in your scene to use face retouching, color filters, face effects, advanced camera settings, and more.
The Lens Filter is added per source, and the settings for each source are managed independently.
Adding the Lens Filter
Method 1. Adding Quickly from the Sidebar
In the Sources area of the current scene, click the Add Source icon, then click Add a new Video Capture Device or Mobile to add the source.
Click the Lens icon on the right sidebar, then select Enable Lens in the Lens window.
Once the Lens Filter is added, you can use four features:
Face Retouch Effects
Color Filter
Face Effects
Advanced Camera Settings
The selected effects are applied right away to the Video Capture Device or Mobile source in the scene and to the preview.
Method 1. Adding from the Filters Window
You can also add the Lens Filter the same way as in OBS, and check the filter settings and the results in one window.
In the Sources area, right-click the Video Capture Device or Mobile source you want to apply Lens to and select Filters.
In the Filters window, click the + button under the Effect Filters section.
Select Lens from the filter list.
Enter a filter name in the Filter name window and click OK.
Check that Lens is added to the Effect Filters list and the Lens settings appear on the right. Settings are applied to the selected source right away, and you can see the results in the preview.
