Hello,
I'm curious to know if it's possible to import a simple edl, from the command line. I was using the command line to specify sources, up until I hit the 'MAX CHARACTER' limit. I'd like to load the sources into RV using the edl, in hopes I'll dodge the max char limit @ the command line.
Any suggestions?
-Thanks!
(Sorry for repeat post)
Hi Matt,
It is possible, though not pretty:
rv -eval 'rvui.parseSimpleEDL("blah.edl");'
But if you're going to the trouble to write and edl, what about writing a BAT file or something ? (Assuming you can get around the max chars problem there.)
The larger story here is that the command line is now more fully-featured than the simple edl format, so we're going to phase it out and replace it with ".rvcmd" files that basically hold a (possibly very long) command line. Not sure when exactly that'll happen but it's high on my personal list.
Cheers,
Alan
Sounds great. The eval will work just fine. it's running through a .bat already, so it's not so ugly to the end user anyway. Should work well for now.
Thanks!
