Adding an Animated GIF Overlay on Yolobox Pro – Yolobox Pro Software v1.5.3 Update Review

How do you put a GIF on a stream? How do I add a GIF to Yolobox Pro?

I prefer “animated GIFs with transparent background” aka Stickers.

Where can I get animated GIFs?

  1. Go to https://giphy.com/ and search for “[your keyword] sticker”.
  2. Find an animated GIF you like, and click on the “thumbnail” to open it.
  3. Right-click and select “Save image as” or “Download Image,” depending on the browser.

What’s New in Yolobox Pro Update v1.1.0

In this video, I check out what’s new in the Yolobox Pro Update version 1.1.0… https://youtu.be/1ZhS4uFjzfs

What’s New in YoloBox Pro v1.0.6

Mid September 2021, Yololiv released added 3 new features to the Yolobox Pro… https://youtu.be/HIuMs_sXxSk

  • Support 2 Videos from SD Card
  • Scoreboard Countdown Timer
  • Rolling Captions Unlimited Characters

That’s just about two weeks after adding features for encoding modes, manual bitrate control, chroma key, scoreboard & overlay customization.

Support 2 Videos from SD Card: With support for adding 2 Videos from SD Card, we can now add a total of 3 sources (2 videos & 1 PDF) from the SD card, and  a total of 8 video sources (3 HDMI + 1 USB-A + 1 USB-C + 2 SD Card Videos + 1 PDF).

Scoreboard Countdown Timer: We can easily create a timer or reset it whenever we want with just one tap. The longest time period supported is 100 minutes.

No Character Limits for Rolling captions: In this update, Yololiv also removed the limit of how many characters can be displayed when adding rolling captions. Even if you live stream a music festival with all lyrics displayed, there won’t be a problem.

What is Yolobox Pro?

Since the launch of the first Yolobox on Kickstarter in 2017, the Pro version is released in 2021 after users’ feedback and suggestions.

My Review

I have done many reviews on the original Yolobox.

In my reviews, I wished for the following…

  • More HDMI inputs
  • Audio mixing and
  • Integrated comments

It looks like the Yolobox Pro is the answer to my wishes, though…

I wished the size would remain the same or be smaller, for that true portability.

First Impressions

The audio monitoring port is moved to the top. That means all cables will be jutting out only from the top. The bottom will be clutter-free.

The battery power of my unit came 100% fully charged right out of the box.

The touch screen is more responsive. So happy to type on it. The original Yolobox require me to press a little harder.

After signing in with my ID and password that I registered with the original Yolobox, I was taken to a screen with my last streams. It doesn’t mean anything at all. I can’t tap into a past stream to watch anyway. Also, my streaming platforms are ready to be connected without having to reenter the user ID and password.

The audio recording is stereo. Is it? It is stereo from the audio monitoring output port. That’s when connected to the iPhone 12 Pro Max HDMI output with filmic Pro.

Once I add the third camera ot rather HDMI input, yolobox pro begins to become very hot… And cranky… The display starts flickering.

i wish I can show more than 2 sources on the screen. At least 4 sources on the screen will be great… And each source should be resizable… Just like OBS.
