I'm newish to inkscape as I have herd it's good for creating overlays for online streaming on like twitch etc. I'm looking to create my own to help make my streams look better but I'm not sure where to start . Would anyone be able to help me out or point me in the right directions of where I can learn to do that . Sorry if this isn't in the right section and thanks for any help given
Well, what you're looking to build is a complete image (or several) that serves as a frame to be inlaid on top of your video capture.
Before that, you can start with a sketch to figure out and roughly place elements you want.
Then the first thing you'll need is some screen caps to represent which parts of the screen you can cover and which should remain visible. Set them in a layer you can call 'background' and lock it (you have a pane Inkscape called Layers and objects to do that).
Once you have that, you can start to draw shapes to make your frame elements.
When your design is finished, just turn off background layer to export only the frame.
