I'll admit I've never used expr and I haven't the foggiest idea how to create that 1-pixel high sliding bar clip with it.

My original idea of replacing the for loops didn't work. Well, I should clarify that... I was able to replace the two for loops with ScriptClip + ConditionalReader (the core piece), but it seems that the use of ScriptClip + ConditionalReader multiple times in a script with the same variable names doesn't work as expected so a loop of multiple instance fails. That would only have ~109 splices instead of 103848 (presumably not crashing).

For example:

Code:

LEN=103848
mini_length=956

Asrc=BlankClip(Length=LEN, height=786, width=1920, Pixel_type="YV12",COLOR=$FF0000).ShowFrameNumber
Bsrc=BlankClip(Length=LEN, height=786, width=1920, Pixel_type="YV12",COLOR=$00FF00).ShowFrameNumber

Loop_cnt=0
A=Asrc.trim(Loop_cnt*mini_length, ((Loop_cnt+1)*mini_length-1))
B=Bsrc.trim(Loop_cnt*mini_length, ((Loop_cnt+1)*mini_length-1))
ScriptClip(A, """
stackhorizontal(stackhorizontal(A.crop(0,0,n,-0),B.crop(n,0,960,-0)),A.crop(960+n,0,-0,-0))
""")
ConditionalReader("slide.txt", "n", false)
Y = last

Loop_cnt = Loop_cnt + 1
A=Asrc.trim(Loop_cnt*mini_length, ((Loop_cnt+1)*mini_length-1))
B=Bsrc.trim(Loop_cnt*mini_length, ((Loop_cnt+1)*mini_length-1))
ScriptClip(A, """
stackhorizontal(stackhorizontal(A.crop(0,0,n,-0),B.crop(n,0,960,-0)),A.crop(960+n,0,-0,-0))
""")
ConditionalReader("slide.txt", "n", false)
Z = last

return Y
#return Z

I don't understand why Y and Z are identical. If either of the two code blocks are commented out Y/Z are what is expected, or if the variable names in each block are unique (like A0, B0 in the first and A1, B1 in the second) Y & Z are what is expected. But with limitation I can't use a for or while loop to do this 109 times or even do a manual unroll with copy and paste without making every iteration unique.
