How To Lock a Scene To a Profile

[dannylightning]

I set up 3 profiles.. and 3 Scenes. 1 for recording, 2 for a CSR2 Racing youtube channel, 3 for a War Robots youtube channel but when i change to A different profile it just keeps same scene collection that i was using on the last one instead of switching back to the one i set up for the other profile. so it looks like you have to change profiles and also change scene as well ever time ??? to me it sees like when you change profiles it would change back to the last set of scenes you were using on the other profile.. There must be a way to set a scene collection to a profile Right ?? how would i do such a thing ???

in the photo on the top left you can see the scene and profile name do not match, no matters what profile i choose it just keeps that same scene so i have to manually change both ?? i hope that is not correct.

Yes.

...to me it sees like when you change profiles it would change back to the last set of scenes you were using on the other profile..

I've never understood either, why they're separate. But I didn't think it was that hard to keep them in sync either.

There must be a way to set a scene collection to a profile Right ?? how would i do such a thing ???

I have some automated scripts that use the command line to do that:
obs --profile "Profile Name" -- collection "Scene Collection Name"
I actually run multiple instances at the same time from the same script, with different names there, and they operate independently with different settings like you would expect.

obs --help on the command line (Command Prompt in Windows) to see all that you can do there. :-)
You might need to copy the command line out of a shortcut, to see what the actual format is, instead of just obs. But then it works. Just obs is enough on my Linux rigs.
