Automate VirtualDub...?

[sirbender]

Hi,

I want for example edit like 50 AVIs the same way.

Just cut off 1:30 min from the beginning. I can do it manually in VirtualDub. But how do I automate it ???

I guess there is some scripting language?

Perhaps there is some pyhton interface ?

Cheers,
sb

It's a proprietary scripting language, Automation and thus Phyton is not supported, unfortunately. Please note that Automation means COM with IDispatch or IDual interfaces. I got a .NET class that wraps the VD scripting object model, exposing .NET classes to COM is a matter of adding some attributes. With the Boo Phyton dialect the .NET class could be consumed directly, there might even be a C# to Boo convertor though my class is VB but again VB can be converted to C#. My class is however very old and messy.

COM ? I doubt this is the only way...

Btw, python is not a properietery scripting language.

Anyway - there has to be a scripting language with which to automate such simple things. I can save in VirtualDub the processing instructions etc. in some language called Sylia.

Moreover there is something called JobControl (F4). You can schedule different jobs there. Meaning you have to save this jobs in some scripting langauge...right ?

Perhaps VirtualDub is not the solution and I should use something else ?

I meant sylia with proprietary, you can even make sylia scripts generic by passing variables at the command line.

FYI, it's well documented:
