Running Batch Operations
--batch-mode <file>
Run CLI commands from file
--ops-file <file>
Run some commands from file
Both these options run application commands from the given text file. The
advantage of this is that the commands complete much more quickly than if
run separately on the command line because the application only needs to
startup, initialise and open projects or compositions once.
The "ops-file" command is left for backwards compatibility. The
"batch-mode" option is new and much more flexible and powerful. It
also supports all CLI commands.
Batch Mode
--batch-mode <file>
Run the command-line commands from the given text file. Each command
line should be placed on a separate line of the file and any valid command line
is allowed. The application will load the file and run each line as if you were
typing them interactively.
You do not need to include the application executable on each batch
file line i.e. write batch file lines like :
-p TestProject -c Compname --splice <path>
Example Batch File
--project P --composition C --splice Z:\shots\dpx\056_004.001.dpx
-p P -c Compname --splice Z:\shots\dpx\078_021.001.dpx --record-in 8992
--project ProjectX --import-folder S:\images\testfiles
Ops File
--ops-file <file>
This options allows you to take commands to run from a specified text file but
is more limited in the commands it supports.
