For some reason when I try to set either a shadow, stroke or glow to a source in OBS to the outer position, it just dosent show up at all, no matter what settings I adjust, it dosent show up.

Hi @MegalordX8-

This is due to how OBS renders sources. Essentially, it can not render outside of the bounds of the source, and so if you're applying an outer stroke/glow/shadow to a source that completely fills its bounds, it will not appear. However, there is a workaround. Add a crop/pad filter (it comes with OBS) in the filter list before the stroke, glow, or shadow, and give a negative padding value for all sides. This will extend the bounds of the source, and allow the filter to show. More details can be found in issue #35 .

I'm actively working on the next SGS release, and will include an auto-bounds-extension option, but for now you'll need to use the crop/pad workaround.

Please let me know if this fixes the issue for you, and if so, I'll close this issue.

I found that by adding a border of empty pixels around the image fixes the issue, thank you for the help

I'm glad you got it working. Stay tuned, as the next release (which I'm currently working on) should have a "auto-pad" option which will do this for you. I'm going to close this, but if you have any ideas for padding/auto padding, please feel free to post in the comments of issue #35
