filename automation |
|
|
So. we are recording the same class, twice a week for one semester. Times 54
classes. and I don't want to have to create 2500 session files.
Each class has a name IE: insy7676
each class meet on certain days: IE 01-07-06, 01-09-06, 01-14-06, etc.
so the filename for each class would be...
insy7676_01-07-06.wmv
insy7676_01-09-06.wmv
insy7676_01-14-06.wmv
insy7676_01-16-06.wmv
etc.
currently I am creating files
insy7676_01-07-06.wme
insy7676_01-09-06.wme
insy7676_01-14-06.wme
insy7676_01-16-06.wme
with the same profile and the output filename that matches the date.
What I want to do is creat one script for each class that atomatically sets
the date. IE
insy7676auto.wme -output insy7676_%date%.wmv
Any help deeply appriciated.
Thanks
Ken
PS: I know I need a batch file and I've already figured out how to set a
variable to mm-dd-yy. All I need is help with the command that will let me
open a session with the output filename set to include the current date.

You could get a macro (scripting) utility - and "train" it to do what you
want - to save yourself the hassle - google for macromania, for example.
But Windows MovieMaker 2.1 might suit your needs better than WME 9 - if you
have XP SP2 then you will have WMM2.1
It's a better application for doing video capture to file... IMHO
Try it... how to automate it too is tricky...
