merge files from folder before autocut & project export #210

Closed shrikant2002 closed 2 years ago

shrikant2002 commented 2 years ago

this is a great piece of work and this should have an inbuilt file merger so we can set folder path directly and it will merge the files by date before auto cut and export a single project file.

Thank you!

This is indeed a great idea. So you could have several takes, drop them in a folder, and auto-editor would do the rest of the work for you!

Doesn't the combine files option already do that?

--combine_files
  combine all input files into one before editing.

I used the following aruguments to use 3 files in "auto" folder auto-editor /Users/shrikant/Movies/auto --frame_margin 8 --combine_files --export_to_final_cut_pro

It completed well and resulted in one fcpxml file including combined.mp4 which was missing in that location I think auto_editor is deleting the combined.mp4 file so after importing it into final cut resulted in a missing file Screenshot 2021-10-03 at 11 27 56 AM (2)

@shrikant2002 thanks for letting us know! And how we specify the order of the files?

You are now able to use the --combine_files option and export to your favorite editor in 20w40a and greater.

Upgrade with:

pip3 install -U auto-editor
