How to Livestream Code and Design on Twitch

Animations attract the eye and add a higher level of engagement for your users. But they’re not easy to set up, and they don’t always look the way they should on every browser. 

Greensock is the best platform available for creating performant, highly-customizable animations. This course will walk you through the features of Greensock, including how to:

- animate an element
- manually control an animation
- animate between CSS classes

…and more, with cross-browser support to ensure your animations look sharp everywhere.

Create Amazing Animations with GreenSock

GreenSock supports all of the CSS3 3d properties, so you can freely rotate around X, Y, and Z axises with rotationX, rotationY, and rotationZ. Once that's set up, you can tweak the perspective of the element with transformPerspective.

Spin Elements in 3d with GreenSock

By default, elements use their own perspective, so if you rotate multiple elements on the page the perspective will seem a bit off for each of them. The solution is to set the perspective on the container element, then each child element will follow the parents' perspective.

Sometimes you want to leave an animation looping without any user interaction. This is done using the "repeat" and "yoyo" properties combined to keep the tween moving back and forth from the start properties to the end properties.

Many streamers use colorful banners on their stream pages that reflect their branding. Here's how you can create and use them.

A short look at what I do before I change from my "Starting Soon" scene to my "live scene" and a brief overview of what to except from the collection

Introduction to Livestreaming

We cover some of the twitch interface and open a twitch account

Starting a Twitch account to livestream

We introduce OBS and compare it to SLOBS, download and set up our first scene including desktop capture and audio tips.

Introduction to OBS and creating your first scene

We cover how to get your stream key, how to use that stream key to test bandwidth and CPU usage settings, and go live on Twitch for the first time.

Going live on Twitch for the first time and testing bandwidth

While there are many useful tools and toys to pull together for a livestream, the truth is you don't need any of them to start.

What gear do I need to livestream?

It's likely that you will have many streams where no one is there, or people are there and they aren't telling you they are. Does it matter?

What if nobody comes to watch my livestream?

What is a Streamdeck?

[Streamlabs](https://streamlabs.com/) has two major halves: Streamlabs OBS, which is an OBS competitor, and Streamlabs-the-SaaS, which includes tools like chatbots, polls, giveaways, and loyalty rewards.

WTF is Streamlabs?

The `gsap.set()` tween (or animation container) is a zero-duration tween that instantly applies a property to an HTML element. In addition, there is a subtle but important difference between `opacity` and Greensock's `autoAlpha` properties. You will learn how to hide a menu on page load and also how to prevent the element from flashing on page load. This lesson contains Greensock's basic building blocks that are used to create advanced animations with UI elements.

To add the latest Greensock library to your project, go to [Greensock's website](https://greensock.com/). Fun fact: GSAP stands for Greensock Animation Platform, and their current latest version is GSAP 3!

A common programming convention for Greensock I like to follow is, if you're going to animate a property with Greensock, keep it in Greensock, otherwise, if you are not going to animate a property, keep it in your CSS.
