Commandline Mode

Projects can be created with the GUI then loaded from the commandline for easy automation of video production. Some components have commandline options for extra customization, and you can save "presets" with settings to load if the commandline option doesn't exist.

Example commands

• Create a video with a grey "classic visualizer", background image, and text:
  • avp -c 0 image path=src/tests/data/test.jpg -c 1 classic color=180,180,180 -c 2 text "title=Episode 371" -i src/tests/data/test.ogg -o output.mp4
• Create projects and presets from commandline and add changed elements onto them:
  • avp my-podcast-project -c 99 text "title=Episode 371" preset=PodcastText -i input.ogg -o output.mp4
• Get more commandline options for Classic Visualizer component:
  • avp -c 0 classic help (component names are "fuzzy searched" so many names will work)
• See more commandline options: avp --help
• Run program in debug mode: avp --debug
  • Debugging log files are in the app's config directory (.config on Linux, AppData/Local on Windows, Library/Preferences on macOS)
