Reencoding of clips in preview or recording mode

Video clips reencoding in preview/recording mode

The reencoding of video clips can be done as follows:

• set VideoSource = vs_VideoFileOrURL,

• set VideoSource_FileOrURL with the file name or the URL of the video clip,

• set all the text overlays, graphics overlays, video effects, etc... needed,

• select the compression settings (see the Software compression using codecs chapter),

• invoke StartRecording to record to a new video clip, or StartPreview to just play it.

Note: a start time and/or stop time can be specified by VideoSource_FileOrURL_StartTime and VideoSource_FileOrURL_StopTime.

Reencoding of a playlist in preview/recording mode

It is possible to reencode a playlist as follows:

E.g.:

videograbber.Playlist (pl_Clear, '')
videograbber.Playlist (pl_Add, 'vg000004.avi')
videograbber.Playlist (pl_Add, 'vg000002.avi')
videograbber.Playlist (pl_Add,...
videograbber.Playlist (pl_Add,...
videograbber.VideoSource = vs_VideoFileOrURL
videograbber.VideoSource_FileOrURL = 'PLAYLIST'
videograbber.StartRecording()

It is possible to invoke StartPreview instead of StartRecording to just play the playlist.
