Hi,

I have a few .MTS files that I want to transcode to upload them faster to some website. I have created a rendering profile, and after rendering a few of them one by one I decided to "Generate script." to batch render them later on. Now I have a few scripts like this one (keep reading below, please)

#! /bin/sh

SOURCE="/home/paolo/kdenlive/scripts/script002.sh.mlt"
TARGET="/media/videopanasonic/00008.mp4"
RENDERER="/usr/bin/kdenlive_render"
MELT="/usr/bin/melt"
PARAMETERS="atsc_1080p_24 avformat - /home/paolo/kdenlive/scripts/script002.sh.mlt /media/videopanasonic/00008.mp4 f=mp4 hq=1 acodec=libfaac ab=128k ar=48000 pix_fmt=yuv420p vcodec=libx264 s=1920x1080 r=24 minrate=0 b=8000k b_strategy=1 subcmp=2 cmp=2 coder=1 flags=+loop flags2=dct8x8 qmax=51 subq=7 qmin=10 qcomp=0.6 qdiff=4 trellis=1 aspect=@16/9 pass=2 progressive=1"
$RENDERER $MELT $PARAMETERS


When I launch Kdenlive, I simply press the "render" button, start one of these scripts and wait. The job queue works and the progress bar goes to 100% and then starts over again.

I never get any video processed (in the example above, I never got 00008.mp4).

Maybe I misunderstood how it works? Is it that I should have saved the projects as well, not only the scripts?

Do I need to load all the videos again before launching the scripts, like if I were to edit them? I would like somebody to point me in the right direction, thanks.

Paolo

Yes, it needs project files because it is a NLE and not designed to be a batch transcoder.
