Automating Your Video Editing
In this tutorial, we learn how to do the classic “newspaper spin” found in episodes such as the Batman series from the 1960’s. We can control the sizing at the beginning and end of the spin as well as the number of spins. Please sign up here and leave comments with suggestions of tasks you Read More …
In this tutorial, we learn how to get the basic project and media size information reading the Project Height, Width, and Aspect Ratio. Then we get the same information from events on the timeline. Finally we look to see if an event on the timeline is a video or audio event and determine if the Read More …
In this tutorial we look at several ways to go through the events on the timeline. There are many methods that can be used. We look at each, discuss when each should be used (from never to most often), and see how each works by moving several events on the timeline. The main three methods Read More …
In this tutorial, we take an older script that was written in JScript and convert it to the newer C#. There are definitely advantages to coding in C# such as being able to compile the code into a .dll file, using a “foreach” instead of an Enumerator to go through events and tracks, and the Read More …
Creating a unique icon for your script will make it easier to locate in the Script menu or on the toolbar. If you have multiple scripts on the toolbar and they all have the generic icon, it will be difficult to remember which one is the correct one for this task. By creating different icons, Read More …
This tutorial will explain how a script can be assigned to a button on the toolbar at the top of the screen or to a specific key press. Then you will not need to navigate through the various menus to find your favorite scripts. You can simply click on the toolbar button or press the Read More …
In this final rendering tutorial, we look at how to save a snapshot from the timeline. This addition will save the frame at the current cursor position as a PNG image. This script could be easily modified to save a snapshot from all marker positions or any other location on the timeline allowing you to Read More …
In this script, we learn how to render multiple projects at a single time. In this example, we have a wedding that is broken up between four different projects. With a single call, we can now render all four projects to the same format with a single call. The full source code and compiled DLL Read More …
In this script, we tackle a special request from a viewer. This option will allow rendering each track separately for every region on the timeline. So, for example, if you had three tracks and five regions, you would end up with 15 files – five from each of the three tracks. Please sign up here Read More …
In this tutorial, we continue from the previous tutorial which would render the entire project. Using the same techniques, we now pass the “DoRender” routine the information to render a smaller portion of the track. By doing this, we can now render each region separately. Each region will be named with the word “Region” followed Read More …
