Repeat N times the same composition creating a single rendering #572

Closed crisdeb closed 3 years ago

crisdeb commented 3 years ago

I have a composition with text that changes each time creating a 'scene', each scene must be repeated N times updating the text (example: [strawberry],[apple],[lemon],[kiwi],...).

It is clear to me how to edit the text each time with the correct value:

{
  "type": "data",
  "layerName": "my text field",
  "property": "Source Text",
   "value": "strawberry"
},

But how do I render the composition N times creating a single video file?

Is there a way to do this with one job, or do you have to create each clip individually and merge everything together at the end?

Sounds to me like indeed a job that you would need to run N times providing different job definitions. And after those are rendered there can be an additional code from your side to merge all together via ffmpeg for example.

In fact, that's what I already do. I was hoping there was a way to just use nexrender. Thanks anyway

I've been doing this. but it keeps redownloading ffmpeg every time. after i do it 10 times that is 700 mb and 100 times 7 gigs. anyway for it to not have to keep downloading it
