MickFX Initial Setup

MickFX needs a couple OBS plugins to work. These are very common plugins, and it’s likely you already have them installed. If not, feel free to use the MickFX Plugin Installer, as linked below. Each effect page lists the plugins it needs, however to save yourself a headache it is recommended to install all of them.

All you have to do is find your OBS .exe, which is what you use to launch OBS with.

SAMMI is a community-ran streamdeck for OBS. It allows you to control what OBS does. I first used SAMMI to make an effect where my webcam zoomed in dramatically to a sound effect. Now I’m doing crazy things like zipping around with Rick and Morty! Click here to visit the SAMMI webpage for more information on SAMMI itself.

To install SAMMI, follow the tutorial I made below or click Official Tutorial for the tutorial made by the SAMMI developers.

SAMMI Installation Guide

1 Download and Install SAMMI

Download SAMMI from above and unpack it in a convenient location (such as your Documents folder or near your OBS folder – but NOT inside it) then launch SAMMI Core.exe.

5 Add SAMMI Bridge to OBS

Go to the ‘Docks’ menu in OBS and select ‘Custom Browser Docks’. Enter ‘SAMMI’ (or whatever you want) as the name and locate your SAMMI installation folder. Navigate to the ‘bridge’ folder where your SAMMI Core is and copy the path to the ‘bridge.html’ file. Then paste this into the URL in OBS.

Add a custom browser dock

Option A:

Hold Shift and right-click the bridge.html file, then select ‘Copy as path’. Paste this into OBS for the SAMMI URL and remove the quotation marks.

Option B:

Right-click the bridge.html file, go to Properties, click Security, and copy the text in ‘Object name’.

6 Finalize the Setup

If done correctly, you’ll see the SAMMI Bridge dock in OBS. Position it where you prefer – this is where you’ll control MickFX.

Installation Options:

Method 1: Drag the .sef file directly into SAMMI Core

Method 2: Click SAMMI Bridge on the left section of SAMMI Core → Install an Extension → select MickFX Base

After installation, go to your SAMMI bridge in OBS and follow the on-screen instructions. Essentially – Use SAMMI Core to install the effect into SAMMI. Use SAMMI Bridge to interact with it in OBS.

Note: If you used the MickFX Plugin Installer, the MickFX Base SAMMI extension was already added to your downloads directory.

Not Recommended

Recommended

I originally made MickFX on the SAMMI deck interface before I decided to make my own extensions which use the bridge interface. The deck interface is something I plan on removing, and with that I recommend on using the bridge.

That’s it. You’re done. No more! Easy huh?
