Auto Movie Compile

Deadline
1

I would like to create a script that could run as a post job script that would compile a sequence of rendered images into a small compressed movie for offsite preview. Perhaps using Cleaner XL or Sorenson Squeeze.

It seems that all the parts are there within Deadline to be able to accomplish this. Run a post job python script, get the output path, execute a new job, email completed output.

I am a python noob so I thought I would see if anyone on here has already built something similar that could give me a head start. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Christian,

Here is an example post-job script that just collects the output file names and logs them. That should get you started:
software.primefocusworld.com/sof … ob_Scripts

I imagine you’ll want to run a command line to build the movie file, and you can use Deadline’s SpawnProcess functions to do this:
software.primefocusworld.com/sof … _Utilities

Hoe this helps!

Thanks Ryan,

This will indeed help. I will post my script once I get it working.
