As far as I know, you can't make Livesplit background transparent by itself. What you can do is configure Livesplit and OBS together (in case you use OBS) so the video output will have invisible background.

First configure Livesplit to have a uniform background with specific color, lets say green (or #00ff00). That means no alternating backgrounds for splits, no lines between splits, and similar (you should probably save the changes in a new layout so you won't have to redo the process in the future).

Then, on OBS, you add Livesplit to your scene by using a resource of "window capture", and link it to Livesplit window. Right click on the Livesplit resource, and then "filters", and then add a new filter of "Color key".

The default settings for that filter should look like this: http://i.imgur.com/iOCMFP7.png

The important options here are the "Key Color Type", which should match the color you set for Livesplit background (if you used a different color then pick the custom color option and pick the right color), and "Opacity" set to 100, which turns the chosen key color to be transparent.

(This should be all you need, but if you still want a livesplit layout file, I can send it to you)

You can post an image to this site by posting your image to an image hosting site (e.g. Imgur) and pasting the link here.

That sounds like a strange issue, but worst comes to worst, you can apply a Crop filter on the window via OBS so your output video only displays the part of the timer you want showing.

I figured it out. Sorry for deleting my post. I didn't think anybody replied. I am a noob here. The capture method was set to auto. Once I switched it to windows 10 everything worked perfect. It was an oof moment. Thank you for your help though.
