Scene Director 2.0.0 for OBS Studio 32.2.x on Windows x64. Part of the Director 1.1.0 suite. This repository was called Clip Director up to 1.1.0.
What's new
- Renamed to Scene Director. The plugin follows Palette Director's beat clock and sends MIDI Next / Previous to a virtual MIDI port, so a Synesthesia playlist switches on the beat: at the start of a breakdown (on the breakdown crossfade), on the drop downbeat, and optionally on every phrase downbeat during a groove. The dock's Next / Prev buttons and the hotkeys
scene_director_next/scene_director_prevsend it by hand. - Breaking: clip playback, the Synesthesia OSC control, Skip / Hold / Ban and the ingest tool are removed. The source renders nothing (0 x 0). Scene collections from Clip Director 1.x keep loading: the old source id is kept as a hidden alias, every old setting is kept, and filters left on the source (Spout output, shaders) load and render nothing.
- MIDI out goes through one shared WinMM module, also used by the MIDI Director dock; the port is re-opened quietly when a virtual port starts after OBS.
Install
- Close OBS.
- If Clip Director is installed, delete
C:\ProgramData\obs-studio\plugins\clip-directorfirst (both register the same source id). - Install the suite zip
director-1.1.0-windows-x64.zipfrom EnZhm/director (Palette Director 1.2.0 + Scene Director 2.0.0), or copy thescene-directorfolder from this release's zip intoC:\ProgramData\obs-studio\plugins\(Palette Director 1.1 or later must be installed for the clock). - Start OBS. The log shows
[scene-director] plugin loaded successfully (version 2.0.0).
Synesthesia MIDI learn
- Install a virtual MIDI port (loopMIDI) and pick it under MIDI out in the Scene Director dock; the link chip turns green.
- In Synesthesia, enable that port as a MIDI input and enter MIDI learn on the playlist's next control, then press Next in the dock. Do the same for previous with Prev, and save the mapping.
- The default messages are Next = note 60, Prev = note 59, channel 16 (bytes
9F 3C 7F/9F 3B 7F, note off 50 ms later). Type, channel and number are editable in the dock.
Full steps: INSTALL.txt (also attached).

The zip is the CI build of this tag's tree (Windows build, format checks and core tests green), installed and soaked on the show rig before release.

Known limitations
- The MIDI Director dock has been exercised without a hardware MIDI controller attached; MIDI out has been verified on a loopMIDI virtual port.
