Code: Select all
#Script for "opener and closer" have 2(or more) tracks, each 1 mono channel:
ffidxfile = "%s_job_work%\idx.idx"
ffidxfile2 = "%s_job_work%\idx.idx"
#trim existing source, creating 2 clips: one up to the point of insert, the other one from the point of insert
clip1=Trim(m_clip, 0,%i_insertion_point_frames%)
clip3=Trim(m_clip, %i_insertion_point_frames%,0)
#generate silent audio for insertion clip
audio_null = BlankClip( length=251 ,width=1920, height=1080, color=$000000, channels=30, audio_rate=48000, fps=25)
#load Clip to insert
_audio_21 = FFAudioSource("%s_clip_to_insert%",1,cachefile=ffidxfile)
_audio_22 = FFAudioSource("%s_clip_to_insert%",2,cachefile=ffidxfile)
_audio_2 = MergeChannels(_audio_21,_audio_22)
_audio_2 = MergeChannels(_audio_2, audio_null)

#load outro

_video_4 = FFVideoSource("%s_outro_locatoin%",cachefile=ffidxfile2,seekmode=0)
clip4 = AudioDub(_video_4,_audio_4)
m_clip = clip1 + clip2 + clip3 + clip4
Return m_clip
I think it is something to do with: ffidxfile2
But I am not sure!

Sorry a copy paste error :
Code: Select all
ffidxfile2 = "%s_job_work%\idx.idx
Should be:
Code: Select all
ffidxfile2 = "%s_job_work%\idx2.idx

You know I had a feeling it had something to do with that. as I'm starting to learn the code.
I have attached the video output. But, please have a look at 5 seconds. there seems to be a skip in a frame and also some audio distortion.
Thank you very much
please note, I will only ever need stereo. So I'm not truth this audio static noises coming from the fact that there are multiple channels?

I just sent you a PM with all the files.
Again. I do not mind working with optimal files formats.

Just perfect, thanks for the uploads.
So, i found one more error in the last custom avisynth scripts that i posted: the "lenght" of the generated Audio "BlankClip" was set to 251 fixed.
Also there are some clicks in the "main clip" 02.mxf at about 00:00:04:08 which made me have some doubts about the final result but i think it works now as it should.
Also, as you brought up the discussion about "which file is used to start the job", e.g. the .mxf or the .txt file, so i also created a version that takes the .txt file instead of the .mxf file for starting the job. (sorry if this causes some confusion but i was under the impression that you want to start your jobs at the arrival of a txt file, not mxf file.)

Hello emcodem,
I am not sure if I am missing something, but in the work flow: TEST 1 - Working. We had the connected node for: #Script for "opener and closer" have 2(or more) tracks, each 1 mono channel:
However, I am not sure if the code has been change for that node?
Code: Select all
#Script for "opener and closer" have 2(or more) tracks, each 1 mono channel:
ffidxfile = "%s_job_work%\idx.idx"
ffidxfile2 = "%s_job_work%\idx2.idx"
#trim existing source, creating 2 clips: one up to the point of insert, the other one from the point of insert
clip1=Trim(m_clip, 0,%i_insertion_point_frames%)
clip3=Trim(m_clip, %i_insertion_point_frames%,0)
#generate silent audio for insertion clip
audio_null = BlankClip( length=251 ,width=1920, height=1080, color=$000000, channels=30, audio_rate=48000, fps=25)
#load Clip to insert
_audio_21 = FFAudioSource("%s_clip_to_insert%",1,cachefile=ffidxfile)
_audio_22 = FFAudioSource("%s_clip_to_insert%",2,cachefile=ffidxfile)
_audio_2 = MergeChannels(_audio_21,_audio_22)
_audio_2 = MergeChannels(_audio_2, audio_null)
_video_2 = FFVideoSource("%s_clip_to_insert%",cachefile=ffidxfile,seekmode=0)
clip2 = AudioDub(_video_2,_audio_2)
#load outro
audio_null = BlankClip( length=251 ,width=1920, height=1080, color=$000000, channels=30, audio_rate=48000, fps=25)
_audio_41 = FFAudioSource("%s_outro_locatoin%",1,cachefile=ffidxfile2)
_audio_42 = FFAudioSource("%s_outro_locatoin%",2,cachefile=ffidxfile2)
_audio_4 = MergeChannels(_audio_41, _audio_42)
_audio_4 = MergeChannels(_audio_4, audio_null)
_video_4 = FFVideoSource("%s_outro_locatoin%",cachefile=ffidxfile2,seekmode=0)
clip4 = AudioDub(_video_4,_audio_4)
m_clip = clip1 + clip2 + clip3 + clip4
Return m_clip
I would suggest we get the mono script working perfectly. Thank you emcodem....

Yes that is because i was so sluggish and uploaded the same workflow that you sent, please forgive.

TEST 1 - Working_now_Really.json
Oh come on.. Nothing to forgive.. I am testing it right now...
also you might be onto something.. When exporting from Adobe Premier, there is a little pop sound...
I will keep you fully updated and thank you very much!!!

okay.
So it looks like there is an issue with Adobe Premier regarding popping sound on exporting. I will research that myself. As there has to be some kind of solution.
but there is a problem with the clip insert. Please have a look at the attached GIF. with the provided nifty software, I step through and you can see it clearly in the GIF.
Please have a look and let me know.

it is adding a frame unnecessarily. I'm not quite sure why.
