Video Remixer now has a new Bulk Processing tab under the Remix Extra tab.
Bulk Processing
This new feature saves time when remixing a series of videos
Create new Video Remixer projects for all videos in a directory using an identical set of options
Select projects to open 1-by-1 per project state, e.g., open the next project requiring scene choices
Process all Video Remixer projects in a directory using identical processing options
Example Use Cases:
Removing commercial ads from a collection of OTA television recordings
Splitting a collection of long recordings into shorter manageable videos
Create Multiple Projects
Set Videos Path to the directory of videos to create projects for
Use the Remix Settings and Set Up Projects tabs to set the project creation options for all videos
Click Create Projects
Video Remixer projects will be created for each video within the selected directory.
Note
This feature can consume vast amounts of disk space
Tip Use the new Remove Source Frames feature on the Set Up Project tab (in the More Options accordion) to remove the original source frames after scenes have been created for them
The videos should all share the same video properties to ensure they are compatible with the project setup options
Open Multiple Projects
Set Projects Path to the directory of Video Remixer projects to be opened
Set Project State to the state to search for to open the next project
Bulk created projects will be in the state "Choose" on being created
Click Open Found Project
The next project found matching that state will be pre-filled into the Project Path field on the Remix Home tab allowing the project to be opened easily. A message will appear instead if no project was found matching the selected state.
Process Multiple Projects
Set Projects Path to the directory of Video Remixer projects to be processed
Use the Process Remix tab set to processing options for all projects
Tip use the Automatically save default MP4 video and Delete processed content after saving options (in the Advanced Options accordion), along with the Create MP4 Remix tab (on the Save Remix tab) to create the video and deleted all generated project content if only needing the final remixed video.
Click Process Projects
Each Video Remixer project will be processed 1-by-1
Note
This feature _can take an enormous amount of time to complete
I have found Python exiting without any messages about why, nor the ability to trap an exception to prevent it while processing dozens of projects.
If this happens, remove the completed Video Remixer projects from the projects path, restart the application and try again
I have had it fail after as few as 20 projects and as many as 65
A proper solution to this issue is still being investigated
