# director_note

Edit ONE scene with a natural-language note (the same director chat the editor UI uses): move/restyle/add/remove layers and overlays, retime, etc. Synchronous — returns the applied mutations + updated scene. Address the scene by project_id + segment_number (preferred — always resolves to the current scene) or by scene_id from a fresh list_scenes call. Scene durations are locked to the narration track: don't ask to extend/shorten a scene except the final one — for a held-shot feel mid-video, ask for calmer/static motion on the scene instead. For notes spanning the whole video use project_director_note instead.

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `message` | string | yes | Natural-language edit note for this scene, e.g. "move the caption to the top" or "remove the overlay" |
| `scene_id` | object | no | ID of the scene to edit, from a FRESH list_scenes call — scene ids change whenever segments are edited (split/combine/update-content), so never reuse ids saved |
| `project_id` | object | no | Project ID; required (with segment_number) when not passing scene_id |
| `segment_number` | object | no | 1-based segment number of the scene to edit (from list_scenes or get_segments) — preferred over scene_id because it is resolved to the current scene at call tim |
| `conversation_history` | object | no | Prior chat turns as [{"role": ..., "content": ...}] to continue an editing conversation on this scene; omit to start fresh |

Parameters from the server's own tool schema.
