What it does

SceneSwitcher automates scene switching in OBS Studio, allowing for customized and scheduled scene transitions based on specific conditions or events.

When to use it
  • You need to switch between multiple scenes during a live stream or recording based on specific cues or conditions.
  • You want to automate your OBS Studio workflow to reduce manual intervention and improve production efficiency.
  • You require customized scene transitions with specific delays, conditions, or priorities for your streaming or recording setup.
Ready-to-paste prompt
Run `./SceneSwitcher --config config.json --scene MAIN --transition FADE` to automate a fade transition from the current scene to the MAIN scene based on the conditions defined in the `config.json` file.
Heads up: Ensure that OBS Studio is properly configured and running before executing SceneSwitcher, as it relies on the OBS Studio API to interact with scenes and transitions; also, verify the C++ compiler version and dependencies required for compiling the SceneSwitcher code.
