Avidemux Forum

I have been using Avidemux for a while on occasional video editing jobs.

I just updated to ADM 2.6.15 and ADM 2.6.16 on Windows 10 Pro. Everything seems to work but if I use File > Project Script > Save As Script, whatever name I choose to save I get "The file name is not valid". Am I dumb or is there a bug?

In fact, I would have been happy with the simpler and handier Save Filters button which used to exist but has apparently disappeared. I have read http://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,16651.msg77825.html (http://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,16651.msg77825.html) but there is a lot of discussion about duplicate ways to add filters and it is not clear that Save and Load filters have disappeared by design. I do not think there is really another way of doing the same (apart from saving the whole project, which saves more stuff and which I do not manage to do) and it was IMHO a very simple and efficient feature. Just my 2 cents.

Best,

p.

bug? nah, don't think so.

Avidemux Menu: File: Project Script: Save As Project: demo.py

You do save in folder where you're allowed to save in as user? windows restricts you where to write files.

If you want to reuse project files on different videos: you edit project file and remove the reference to the loaded video. You can then store the modified script in custom where it is available under Avidemux Menu Custom.

Probably a bug, but you can work around it. Say you have TEST.MP4 loaded and go to save the project. It offers to save it as

TEST.*

which is a wildcard, not a valid name for the script file. It should be

TEST.PY

Just change the offered TEST.* to TEST.PY and then save the project.
