how do you get the PlayableDirector component in unity c#

I’ve been looking around for the answer to the same question and I can’t find anything. The docs aren’t very helpful without code examples. I’ve tried something like GetComponent<PlayableDirector>() on the gameobject but it keeps saying "PlayableDirector" is not part of the current context. How can I get this component and detect if the timeline has finished playing the cutscene?

After watching one of the timeline scripting video’s, the way to access a PlayableDirector component in a gameobject is to use the UnityEngine.Playable library. So to check if the timeline is playing I’d have to do the following:

using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Playable;

public class cutscene1 : MonoBehavior{
    
    PlayableDirector director;

    bool playing = false;

    void Awake(){
        director = GameObject.Find("cutscene1GameObject").GetComponent<PlayableDirector>();
    }

    void Update(){
        if(director.state != PlayState.Playing){
            playing = false;
        }else{
           playing = true;
        }
    }
}
