Automated Video Editing
  • Can you use photos with this as well or is it just limited to video?  Thanks for your answer.
    IMAGES - To use images / photos you will first need to convert those items to comps (To batch convert the images to comps simply select them all and drag them to the New comp icon at the bottom of the project panel and choose 'Multiple Compositions'. This way you don't have to do them one at a time).

    Hope this was helpful :)

  • I have the same problem, anybody can help me please?  The Stereo Side Keys process was not able to be completed. Make sure you don't press on the mouse while the automated process is running. wait for the message 'Process Completed Successfully'.

  • Hi Gilad- 
    Cool script! 
    Is there any way to randomize the in-point of the clips, rather than just default to the beginning of each clip? 
  • Hi Gilad- 
    Cool script! 
    Is there any way to randomize the in-point of the clips, rather than just default to the beginning of each clip? 
    Yes you can, this feature was added in the latest update.

    "Start of Clip" - For each clip, the script can make a random in point to start the cut, or
    use the beginning of the clip as an in point. change "Start of clip" to random.

    Hi Peter

    Currently you can use up to 13 minute audio track, I will consider adding more minutes time in the next update.
    What is the length of the audio mix you are using?

    Thanks
  • Hi Gilad, 
    Seen your script on a website that was reviewing it. I'm interested in this product quick question though. I'm interested in using this for music videos. Is there a way to use presynced footage or are you able somehow update this to read footage already in the comp? If I sync the footage in Premiere then link it through AE I then want the script to use that Premiere dynamic link composition. Basically instead of dropping files in the comp folder of the script have the script use footage off of whatever comp is open at the time if that makes sense.  
  • i just bought this ,downlouded and extracted the file but when i open after effects there is nothing to import, any tips ;(

    Hi Brandon
    no it cannot do that currently but it will use clips in the "###Video" folder inside the project panel according to there number (you can change the order manually by changing the clips name).
    Hope this was helpful

  • Is there any chance to improve with these features:
    - add still images
    - automatically pan and zoom still images according to the music, something like this?

    Regarding pan and zoom still images according to the music, good idea, I will consider adding that feature soon.

  • Thanks, after the trial period I bought it and picture to comps work fine.

    1.
    Probably one more idea in the long term of this superb time-saver plug-in: would be great to add the standard AE effects randomly to each track, to spice the footages up. Obviously it need some thinking how it can be done in the clever way, at least hue/saturation, colorization, brightness, some distortions, image noises, lo-fi effect etc. would be interesting. Or is there any plug-in that already make this?

    2.
    Random Video is great, however I often get the same video too many times. Is that possible to expand it with Random Exclusive feature? I mean all videos played randomly just once only, and they start repeating after all video has already been played earlier. So in case of enough footage the repetition could be completely eliminated.

    3.
    Not sure if it is a bug, but Video Cut Speed is 4, Limit Shot Duration is set to max 5 sec and I still get a 24 sec long edit after running a script. How do these parameters interact?

    Hi Baci

    1. I will try to add more feature in future release, my goal is to make the script better each time and your suggestion sounds great. It's not hard to make what you suggest but I need to think about what are the rules regarding putting the AE effects on those layers (what effects to include and what not to include, do I use a couple on one video or just one effect per video). 

    2. you right, I will fix that soon (Random Exclusive or the existing Random option math operation) , but what you can do also: just choose "Random Video" and also choose "Start of Clip": "Random". don't forget to cancel the "Repeat Video" option. this will also start each video from a different in-Point and also choose random video files. so if you have long duration files (let's say from GO PRO cameras) this can be very affective.

    3. first the engine cut the video files according to the beat, after that it will check the rules on Min/Max shot duration you entered and will remove clips that doesn't obey the rules, the empty space that left is filled by stretching other videos.
    did you mean the whole edit is 24sec or a each layer length?


  • There is a generated footage layer where the lenght of the edit is 24 sec which could not happen with my current setting: Limit Shot duration, Max Secondds: 5sec

  • Love this script, using for my behind the scene or unused videos from model shoots. Comes in handy when you just don't have an idea for the videos.
  • Hi! I bought this plugin a couple of days ago and was wondering if it's possible to give it different cut speeds instead of just using one speed all the time? Is there a way to highlight videos that have more importance than others and show them longer? An other question would be (that is maybe not relevant to your plu-in, but could be handy): is it possible to put scenes in different order than filename (default) or random? And I feel like it doesn't use all the videos I put in the folder. Is there a maximum amount? Thanks!

    Hi Rafael

    Thanks for buying the plugin. currently you have a few option for cut speed but it's constant speed. I think what you asked is a good idea for next release.
    regarding 'highlight some videos' - copy paste the same video file inside after effects a couple of times and give them different names. In case you just want to make the video length longer - after automated editing finish doing is thing you can tweak it. 
    regarding last question, what 'order' option would you like to have for the files?.
    there isn't a maximum amount of videos files you can use, basically you can use as much as you want. if you feel like some files are not included, two option 1. the music ended before the plugin could use all footage 2. maybe it's a bug (you can open a support ticket if the problem consist).

    Thank you
  • Hello, I just BUY your script and although having followed exactly the steps that absolutely works.

    to create a video for the full length of the music track, you need to check the "repeat video" checkbox.
