GTA V: How To Use Scene Director Mod For Cinematics [TUTORIAL | Rockstar Editor]

[@whanowa]

Unfortunately the creator of Scene Director has long ago resigned from the GTA community so there will be no further updates to this menu. That's why many features do not work as intended anymore. If you really want a powerful tool for machinima, use Menyoo PC instead: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKfbc4qrg72FrNk *More in-depth tutorials here:* bit.ly/whanowa_Tutorials

whanowa can you cover tips to make the most of console rockstar editor?

[@hardcoreamericangamer8835]

Dope Video, watching your Menyoo one now as well. Doing LSPDFR Machinima. Can i run Menyoo at the same time as scene director?. Also will these menu's and modes work while i am on duty in LSPDFR?. Or am i best suited to stick to regular rockstar editor for LSPDFR, and just do fancy cinematic stuff in between with menyoo/sene director?.

[@Riqin]

I want to thank you again for all your tutorial efforts. It is really making a difference. I have a real ambitious project in mind, but while I am setting up scenes, filming, I keep rechecking your tutorials. I realize that this will take a while before everything will fall into place. There are so much options and SO MUCH can go wrong while setting up scenes. Very frustrating sometimes.. But slow and steady wins the race.

[@whanowa]

Thanks mate. I recommend using Menyoo task sequences to set up scenes as it is much more reliable (albeit not flawless) and you can save your work inside a Menyoo map to continue in later sessions. Scene Director is mostly dead except for a few useful features.

hey whanowa, I rarely comment anything here on KZbin. But this is an absolutely wonderful informative video you’ve made here, as a complete newbie in the PC world of GTA V, it helped a ton. If KZbin gold was a thing, I’d award you with that, but I’ve upvoted and subbed instead. I like your humor too. Thanks! Greetings from Denmark :)

[@mintedsauce]

hey man, i've just started to make gta machinima and wanted to say these tutorials are great and informative- danke kindly herr whanowa. i have a couple of videos up but scene director will hopefully give me more control of the action

[@whanowa]

Scene Director is pretty much dead at this point. You should rather use Menyoo PC and watch my 1 hour tutorial about it. It's more powerful. But you can use both in parallel, which I do.

[@mattiejas]

That's some seriously well explained shit. :-) Thanks for putting together another really great tutorial!

[@kibblz]

Just curious. When the scene is done, do you only use this mod to record everything and not Rockstar Editor? So it actually records to a file on your computer? Im guessing you dont even need to use rockstar editor for this mod?

[@whanowa]

Yes you do need to record normally. This mod only records the actions and replays them. However, since it hasn't been updated or fixed in quite a while, I recommend using Menyoo PC instead. It has a feature called "task sequences" that lets you put way more thought for detail into your scenes. See my tutorial about Menyoo here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKfbc4qrg72FrNk

[@MarburgPL]

Thank you for the tutorial. Very informative and very funny - this comes from a guy that doesn't like watching "tutorials" and like to figure stuff out on my own. Last time I did some machinima movies (if you want you can take a peek at my channel and go straight for "The Good, The Bad and The Coward" - something I developed some time ago, without any mods, just by myself). I didn't played GTA since then and right now I want to take another spin at this movie editor, but with mods this time. Thanks again, great job!

Hello, I like your teaching very much. I would like to ask, when I use scene Director edits the scene and uses F1 to record at the same time. After entering rockstar edition, the same character will always display two models.

@@s-ho2166 all you have to do to get your mods working, is download OpenIV from gta5mods.com and create a mods folder in your GTA 5 directory.

Then in your mods folder you put only the mods that you want to use. You must watch a tutorial about that too.

I've watched this whole video a few times now, a lot to learn. Your teaching style is perfect . If I use skin control to make new characters will all their details save to file with scene director to be able to use later?

I have a Skin Control tutorial, too. You can save your characters with it, but they don't magically connect with Scene Director, so you have to reapply/reload them with every recording session.

My scene director just wont open, I have all the correct files dragged in and I dont believe I have any other conflicting mods, it simply won't open (the only other mods I have installed are Dance menu which is on F7 and Menyoo which is on F8 and F9)

[@VelnixFilms]

So, this is already an older video and I don't know if there are any better techniques to create machinimas nowadays, but I was trying out Scene Director but it was a bit disapointing. For example, when I record some characters to shoot and play the recording, they don't shoot smoothly. It's like they are lagging or something. When I drive with a car to a specific location, it isn't accurate. It drives far beyond the desired destination. When using a RPG, it doesn't play my actions of shooting with an RPG. I was assuming I could save my actors + scenes, but it seems I can't. For example, when the game crashes or has to be reloaded, I'm not teleporting to my scene location but everyone spawns in the safehouse. They also don't have cars anymore in which I recorded the scene with. And so on. I must say I'm just trying it out, and these are just my first things I noticed so far. Maybe I did miss some things. But for now it feels like you have to repeat a lot of stuff in order to get things right. What I've been doing the last months is just programming my own scripts, which plays animations, shooting tasks, driving tasks and so on and it is more fluid than Scene Director, but I donot have full control over all of the outcome then. But, I can save all locations, objects, cars, and so and continue were I left. Is there any kind of advice you have for when you have to make a big shooting scene for example? Like 10-15 actors shooting at each other? It feels like Scene Director is more used for one-on-one scenes like a conversation with someone and stuff like that instead of bigger scenes with lots of action. But I might be wrong!

The problem I have with this stuff is If I am doing an escort or chase scene the car I am not controlling goes bonkers. Even at a Low speed. Just yesterday I had two cars the one I was not controlling was set to follow me with escort mode and I went around a curve on a dirt road. I noticed it was not close and I looked back and all I saw was the follow car flying through the air upside down behind me. the messed up part I started the scene pretty close to the turn and my car was going about 10 mph. The following car had to be going 50 or higher. No way would it have made the turn even if it did not flip. Also, do not set the car to drive at all to a waypoint because it won't even stay on the road no matter what setting you use. It just has a mind of its own and will bash into anything in its way. If it does get to the waypoint it would be a once in a million shot. Once it bashed car up so bad the ped got out and walked to the waypoint. The real funny part was even the ped did not use the roadway. He walked across the sandy desert even though it was out of the way to the waypoint.

[@whanowa]

If the escort mode doesn't work, please watch my machinima master class video, in there I show three variants to do car chases / escorts. The one via Menyoo PC is good. The second part sounds like you had the driving set to "direct". I explained what it means in this video.
