What is Composition Director Pro?

Composition Director Pro is a Blender add-on from Steven Seidler (Blendscapes3D) focused on shot composition. It draws live composition overlays including Rule of Thirds, Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci Spiral, and works from a single panel.

The add-on includes 8 cinematic aspect ratios with letterbox, smart shot-size framing and 14 cinematic camera angles. A 0–10 Composition Score rates the current shot and points out what is off in the frame. The listed features also include balance and framing, eye direction, camera tilt, subject weighting and visual hierarchy.

It is a Blender Extension compatible add-on that runs on Blender 4.2 through 5.1, uses the Blender-Internal render engine and is released under the GPL license. Documentation is provided. It is listed here as free, so check the developer's page for current licensing.
