Hi,
I would like to convert about 250 video files (all episodes of TV Friends). At this moment I have to open every file, make changes and queue. After all I run jobs. But it takes a lot of time to open and queue each file.
Is there any option to apply changes to all folder or a big number of files?
you can use a tinypy script, there is a topic about that somewhere
Some info can be found here: Simple Command line usage with Tinpy Project (http://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,16808.0.html), don't post in that posting, thank you!
If you have further questions, continue in this thread.
Thank you Jan!
So I need to edit Project saved before. I can do it. But what should I add in to this project to make Avidemux open file, and after converting, save it and open the second, third etc.. ?
you don't add into project.
you use batch file (http://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,16808.msg75023.html#msg75023) in Windows or bourne shell in Linux
Ok, I'm not good in this, will make in my style I think, file after file :/
BTW, how stupid is this, that such a good soft with so many possibilitys have no few so simples commands... Can not understand that.
Sample tinypy script, that will load all file in c:\tmp with .mp4 extension
in the convert function, put what you do usually and end it by
adm.save(filein+".converted")
# Loas all mp4 files in intputFolder ending with extention mp4
# ...
#
ext="mp4"
inputFolder="c:\\tmp\\"
#
def convert(filein):
if(0 == adm.loadVideo(filein)):
ui.displayError("oops","cannot load "+filein)
raise
print("Done")
#
# Main
#
ui=Gui()
adm=Avidemux()
#
list=get_folder_content(inputFolder,ext)
if(list is None):
raise
for i in list:
convert(i)
print("Done")
I'm slowly updating the wiki
First entry : http://avidemux.org/admWiki/doku.php?id=tinypy:examples
Thank you for the work on updating the Wiki. Would it be difficult to add a batch processing menu item into Avidemux where it would just ask for the folder and type of files, output folder, and which project file you want to use for all of them? This kind of functionality could be a huge time saver for users. I currently do it through batch files I made with Windows and it works well. I do batch indexing of TS files and Processing Mpeg2 AVI files into MP4 with custom settings.
you could of course use different workfolders to process your videos and have a fluent workflow process.
Separate folder for
avi to mp4 conversion
indexing ts
please also check this: Custom Menu and Saved projects (http://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,10948.0.html)
I just throw the PY and batch file into the directory I want to process then run the .bat file and walk away. After all the files have been converted, I come back, select all of the original video files and delete them. I don't know much about linux as to same functionality as batch files. For those who don't know much about using .bat files in Windows I thought adding that functionality inside of avidemux might be a great option.
Here is a link to the thread with some batch files in it for converting folders in windows with a .bat file if you want to try that. It's down toward the end of the thread.
http://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,16769.msg74856.html#msg74856
Some more documentation update

This is pretty good

That video is just great, thank's for sharing it!
I made a project, but it doesn't working. What am I doing wrong?

I do this with just Ffmpeg, let me know what exactly you need to do and I'll try to adapt one - here's a sample batch file that creates small MP4 files from FLV files that already have a usable audio stream:
for /R %%f in (*.flv) do call :flv2mp4 "%%f"
goto :eof
:flv2mp4
start "FLV2MP4" /belownormal /min /wait C:/ffmpeg -i %1 -c:v libx264 -crf 30 -c:a copy -movflags +faststart %1.mp4
exit /b
Thank you mean, all is working now well!
I hope one day that simple option will be available just in menu.

What do you mean?
indentation is an element of syntax in python.
The content of the convert function needs to be indented with the same level of indentation throughout (and you can't mix tabs and spaces).
Select the bloc of text to indent + press tab in your text editor.

Batch processing could either be achieved with a project menu function that auto-generates a batch script based on the current settings.
or it could be an integrated job-list type feature (would make it simpler to cancel a started job).
scripts can be added to the custom menu in the Gui.

Yeah, this is so stupid, that such a good software have not so simple feture to convert all files in the a folder... After so many years...
I still can't run .py file. Even tried the old one (above in the topic) and do not work.
I reworked on my new one (below) and still got some error:

The exception is raised because the list, returned by get_folder_content is empty.
No mkv file in folder >> raise
raise("No file in folder !") in your script would be more helpful as it would provide a meaningful error message.
There are other errors in your script however:
adm.audioCodec(0, "FDK_AAC", "bitrate=128", "afterburner=True", "profile=2", "sbr=False")
ui.displayError should be gui.displayError
Quote from: butterw on May 12, 2021, 08:06:10 PMraise("No file in folder !") in your script would be more helpful.
Or just avoiding raise alltogether, at least in the Main part:
inputFolder = gui.dirSelect("Select folder")
if inputFolder is None:
return
list = get_folder_content(inputFolder, ext)
if list is None:
gui.displayError("Error", "Folder \"" + inputFolder + "\" contains no files with ending \"" + ext + "\"")

Final script seems working and looks like this:
