Hehe, timeline rendering is a very huge project, i guess we will leave that to other projects as described in the aaf processing thread
I sense we are too less people to work on a project in that size
In the aaf processing thread, my conclusion was that supporting such complex stuff is something that needs huge budget and constant development, so a company must to it. E.g. Pixar Studios:
https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenTimelineIO ...in case they pop out with something useable in future, we can for sure come up with some simple timeline rendering
To keep modularity i would always keep any "sorting, grouping" and such to separate processors. E.g. the monitor does monitoring, the group processor does grouping etc... After all we have a workflow engine exactly for the reason that we do not want all functionality in a single software component.
For your case, I'd probably come up with a custom processor that executes the createaaf stuff and creates a corresponding ffmpeg line but first we need to proof that it works. As i dont have an avid, we should concentrate on the createaaf tool, it must be proven that it finds all audios to a video.
Can you try with "-dn" option in the ffmpeg command, it ignores data tracks...
EDIT:
for further proof of concept, i created quickly a custom processor for your usecase. What it does is to automatically execute createaaf and spit out the generated input and map list.

Look at the wiki in the "Plugin Deployment" section how to install it. After copying the files and restarting ffastrans, you should find a new processor in Decoders section. Make sure you work with the latest ffastrans version.
-) Configure %s_source% as "Array of OPAtom Files (yeah, the label is wrong but its just a test)
-) Configure some user variable as "Created ffmpeg line"
-) submit one Audio or video file from your Atom structure to the processor
Here is a workflow where that sucessfully rewraps a file:
As said, the custom processor above will only output -i and -map list, so in a commandline processor, you still need to provide the codec and -dn option like that:
Code: Select all
%comspec% /C ""%s_ffmpeg%" %s_output_of_rewrap_proc% -codec copy -dn c:\temp\rewrap.mxf"
