VEGASPYTHON 0.3 (Python scripting support for VEGAS) is available:

https://www.hlinke.de/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:vegas_python

New features:

New in Version 0.3:
- Pythonscripts can now be started from the commandline
- Enhance compatibility with standard Python modules

Pythonscripts can now be started from the commandline together with VEGAS and commandline parameters can be passed to the script.

C:\Program Files\VEGAS\VEGAS Pro 16.0\vegas160.exe /SCRIPTARGS pythonscriptfilename /SCRIPTARGS arg1 /SCRIPTARGS arg2

Pythonscripts can access the commandline arguments via the variable sys.argv, as it is expected from Python programs.

Details can be found here: https://www.hlinke.de/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:py_commandline

This feature allows now the integration of VEGAS in complete PYTHON workflows.

Compatibility with standard Python module

Python modules expect that the name of the module is available in the variable "__name__".
For the main script executed "__name__" has to be "__main__".
VEGASPython now sets __name__ to "__main__" as it is expected by standard Python Script.

Kind regards

Harold

Ok, I am back Harold.

So when trying to change the PythonPath

{
    "PythonPath": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python37_64\",
    "debugmode": false,
    "debugprecmd": "import wingdbstub;print ('Wing Debug started')",
    "debugpostcmd": "print ('Debug ended')",
    "debugusereload": true
}

C:\\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Shared\Python37_64\ . I am popped by the same alert I sent later: An invalid argument was specified.

What would You suggest?

Thank You

Jan

Hi Jan,

you have need double the "\" so your filename should be:

"C:\\\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\shared\\Python37_64"

Can you try this?

@Harold-Linke

I found the scene detection feature to be fantastic. It worked perfectly here. Thank you!
