OBS Studio Editor

This tool provides programmatic editing, validation, and automation for OBS Studio project files. It is designed for broadcast engineers, live producers, VJs, and automation integrators who manage complex scene trees and streaming pipelines. The goal is to enable precise, repeatable edits and cross-project consistency without manual file manipulation. It operates offline on a copy of the project to avoid disrupting live streams.
Conceptually the tool treats a project as structured data in memory, applies updates via a safe deterministic merge, and validates references before writing back to disk. Supported operations include renaming scenes, inserting or removing sources, toggling visibility, adjusting properties, and applying templates across multiple scenes. It enforces OBS constraints such as unique IDs and valid cross references, and it records an audit trail of changes for reproducibility. The tool supports dry run mode to preview edits before writing.
Who benefits: production teams deploying templated configurations for client projects, freelancers delivering repeatable setups, and studios performing bulk scene migrations. The value lies in reduced manual edits, lower risk of misconfigurations, and faster iteration when testing new overlays, transitions, or audio setups. The tool is designed to be integrated into automation pipelines or used as a standalone offline editor.
Core features include parse and normalize, safe apply with conflict detection, diff export, dry run, and integration hooks for CI. Use cases include migrating a common source across dozens of scenes, adopting a new transition style, or validating a templated project before deployment.
