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.VideoSource = vs_VideoFileOrURL

videograbber.VideoSource_FileOrURL = 'PLAYLIST'

videograbber.StartRecording()

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