Hello,
Lots of ways to skin this cat, here is one I use often, it is easier for me to understand weeks, maybe months, into something.
Code:
some source filter or filters
# source filters return a clip "last"
# which is equivalent to " last = source filter "
# unless assigned to a clip variable,
# (for example " source = source filter ")
trim(framestart, frameend) + trim(fs, fe) + trim(fs, fe) + trim(fs, fe)
# yep that sucks, and if there are a lot of them it really sucks
aclip = trim(fs, fe)
# aclip is assigned the clip returned by " trim(last, fs, fe) "
aclip = aclip + trim(fs, fe)
# The just keep doing it
aclip = aclip + trim(fs, fe)
aclip = aclip + trim(fs, fe)
aclip = aclip + trim(fs, fe)
aclip = aclip + trim(fs, fe)
aclip = aclip + trim(fs, fe)
aclip = aclip + trim(fs, fe)
# want to comment one out
#aclip = aclip + trim(fs, fe)
aclip = aclip + trim(fs, fe)
# at this point the script's output is still equal to " last '
#
aclip
# which is the same as last = aclip
Code:
# add dissolves between all clips
aclip = trim(fs, fe)
aclip = Dissolve(aclip, trim(fs, fe), 60)
aclip = Dissolve(aclip, trim(fs, fe), 60)
aclip = Dissolve(aclip, trim(fs, fe), 60)
aclip = Dissolve(aclip, trim(fs, fe), 60)
aclip
have fun
