Re: set order in which folders are processed

First - thanks to @emcodem for clearing the basics. Very appreciated! Hi Lugi, I made some refinements. To go on elabotrating a workflow for your needs, maybe you can add some information: 1. You want to run max two active jobs - right? 2. Are the two Watchfolders - let them call us HighPrio-WF and ...

Re: set order in which folders are processed

Hi Lugi, sorry to be so complex. Your approach is not really built into FFAStryns right now. I can understand, that wiggling around with all these possibilities FFAStrans gives you is not easy to understand when you are not in too deep with all that stuff. But let´s try to get a solution! Maybe it i...

Re: set order in which folders are processed

Hi Luigi, My idea would be: Add a Monitor-Node. In the selected Folder of this monitor-node set a Text-file containig just a 1. This file will be read-out by a "$Read()-Function" in a populate variables-node. When FFAStrans crawls through all your Monitor-Folders it will find this txt-File...

Re: Copy files from storage to server with checks?

Hey all, should the second duration be smaller? For the duration check, this one should be more simple. If you start your workflow from watchfolder (listen for *.mp4), you insert a conditional processor checking 2 things: %f_duration% > 3540 AND %f_duration% > 3602 %f_duration% > 3540 AND %f_duratio...

Re: Archive workflow

Hey, it depends. If there is more effort in programming than MediaFiles and always changing foldernames - then a manual workflow COULD be the solution. But... If you can figure out some statics, e.g. "always 'F:\' is the root Drive" or "always 'AlexaDaylies'-Folder" ist the folde...

Re: Archive workflow

Hey, You can use a CommandExecutor-Node for things like that. If your Folder-Structure is always the same you can make use of the FileVariables built in into FFAStrans: %s_original_folder% %s_original_path% %s_original_path~n% The latter is well explained in the Documentation. So the easyest workflo...

Re: Timecode from 23:59:59:24 to 00:00:00:00

Hi Railio, the 24:00:00:00 is wrong for sure, maybe it goes to 29:59:59:24 to make us work longer... :lol: AFAIK the behaviour in various Tape-Machines and AVID Batch-Import is like that: TC at Position is: 23:45:10:10 enter TC on locator: 00:01:05:00 -> Recorder will REWIND because 00:01:05:00 is b...

Re: How (and why) i use FFAStrans on MacOS (and linux etc..) and whisper

This project by @emcodem could also become a "FFAStrans farming on steroids". Just thinking a little further.

How cool is that?

Great, so we can Re-use our Win10 Workstations (not win11 compatible...) with Linux!

Thank you, emcodem!

Re: Folder monitor to capture folders instead of files

Hi DCassidy, I´m not quite sure, if this helps - but... As you scan the Film, the Playback-framerate can be put in the DPX so it can be read out by e.G. MediaTool. This is built-in to FFAStrans by using a function called $jsonget(). Have a look at the documentation for further info on that. For ease...
