Key Features

Scenes & Visual Effects

Easily organize media like images, videos, text, and browser sources using Meld Studio’s drag-and-drop scene editor. Capture live video, embed web content, and share your screen or specific windows. You can also customize shapes, add text overlays, and nest scenes for more advanced layouts. Plus, Meld Studio includes built-in animated scene transitions.

With its library of built-in visual effects, you don’t need extra plugins. Layer and combine effects to create unique visuals, then share them with other users.

Widgets for Twitch & YouTube

Make viewer interactions more engaging with customizable widgets:

• Spotlight Widget– Highlights recent events, like new subscribers or followers.
• Combo Widget– Triggers visual effects when multiple events happen in a set time frame.
• Confetti Widget– Adds bursts of confetti whenever you want or when an event occurs.

Meld Studio integrates directly with Twitch and YouTube, so widgets update in real time as events happen during your stream.

Clipping
