Experimental Addons + Recolored Bumblebee Cutscenes Update

Cutscenes Cute Hornet

🎬 **An experimental cutscene replacement plug-in, bringing a new visual experience to "Hollow Knight: Silk Song"! **

✨ Features

I created a plugin that replaces in-game cutscenes with custom webm videos and recolored the video clips containing Bumblebee. This is primarily an experimental proof-of-concept project - it doesn't directly replace in-game cutscenes, but instead opens another in-game video player when a video of the same name is detected.

🚧 **Note**: Currently only the Bellbeast fast travel cutscene and opening animation are tested. Bellbeast may behave strangely sometimes, but it works fine 99% of the time on my end.

🎥 Video conversion settings

I successfully converted the video using the following ffmpeg settings (only webm format works):

**For 1:1 game cutscenes:**

```

ffmpeg -i Bellbeast_Travel_Children.mp4 -c:v libvpx -b:v 8M -pix_fmt yuv420p -r 30 -deadline good -c:a libopus -b:a 160k Bellbeast_Travel_Children.webm

```

**For custom videos with sound effects:**

```

ffmpeg -i Intro_Cinematic_30.mp4 -c:v libvpx -b:v 8M -r 30 -pix_fmt yuv420p -g 30 -deadline good -c:a libvorbis -b:a 192k -ar 48000 -ac 2 Intro_Cinematic_30.webm

```

💡 **Important Settings**: Find the PreferVideoAudio option in settings (press F1) and enable it.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
