Batch Render for multiple files

Hyparxys wrote on 6/22/2010, 11:39 AM

I tried to modify the batch render script to allow multiple file selection but it seems to cause Vegas to crash.

Here is what I tried:



  public void FromVegas(Vegas vegas)

    {

        myVegas = vegas;

        

        String projectPath = myVegas.Project.FilePath;

        String dir = System.Environment.GetFolderPath(System.Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);

        defaultBasePath = Path.Combine(dir, Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(projectPath));

        String[] filePaths;

        myVegas.NewProject(false, false);

        DialogResult result = myVegas.OpenFileDialog(dir, true, out filePaths);

        myVegas.CancelAsynchronousTasks();

        myVegas.NewProject(false, false);

        if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(filePaths[0])) {

            dir = Path.GetDirectoryName(projectPath);

            String fileName = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(projectPath);

            defaultBasePath = Path.Combine(dir, fileName);

            } 

          else {

            	    defaultBasePath = filePaths[0];   

            	myVegas.OpenFile(filePaths[0]);

            }

        result = ShowBatchRenderDialog();

        myVegas.UpdateUI();

        if (DialogResult.OK == result) {

            // inform the user of some special failure cases

            String outputFilePath = FileNameBox.Text;

            RenderMode renderMode = RenderMode.Project;

            if (RenderRegionsButton.Checked) {

                renderMode = RenderMode.Regions;

            } else if (RenderSelectionButton.Checked) {

                renderMode = RenderMode.Selection;

            }

bool first = true;

            foreach(string test in filePaths)

	    {

           	defaultBasePath = Path.Combine(dir, Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(test));

           	if (first == false)

           	{

      			myVegas.NewProject(false, false);

      			myVegas.OpenFile(test);

 		}

          	DoBatchRender(SelectedTemplates, defaultBasePath , renderMode);

          	first = false;

          	myVegas.WaitForIdle();

	    }

        }

    }

Looks to me like you're stripping off the file extension so you're telling Vegas to open a non-existent file. i.e. myproject instead of myproject.veg

The file extension gets put back in DoBatchRender() in the standard Batch Render script. I only posted the part that I changed. My edit works for a few files and then either crashes or starts to create empty files depending on whether I select more than one render type.
