Editing While Recording Videos in REAPER (Non-Destructive OBS Scene Switching)

Installation: https://github.com/leafac/reaper
obs-websocket (necessary for the web interface and Hammerspoon): https://github.com/Palakis/obs-websocket
(Of course you’ll also need REAPER (http://reaper.fm) and OBS (https://obsproject.com).)

If you wish to use Hammerspoon, install it from here: https://www.hammerspoon.org

The Hammerspoon script will be installed under the Data folder on your REAPER settings (usually ~/Library/Application Support/REAPER/Data/leafac_OBS Multicam - Hammerspoon.lua). Alternatively, it’s also available here: https://github.com/leafac/reaper/blob...
You have to copy and paste the contents of this script into ~/.hammerspoon/init.lua.

I guess the closest to Hammerspoon in Windows is AutoHotkey (https://www.autohotkey.com). I encourage Windows users who are programmers to port the Hammerspoon script to AutoHotkey. Send the script my way and I’ll share it with along with the Hammerspoon script.

Jon of The REAPER Blog gave another good idea of how to trigger the scene switching actions without having REAPER open in front of you: map the actions to MIDI/OSC. Thanks Jon for the idea!
