Layer Clip1 with selected ranges from Clip2.

[xicudiz]

Hi all,I have two clips, called Clip1 and Clip2. I want "Layer" Clip1 with selected ranges (approximate 200-300 ranges) from Clip2. Each range has start frame and endframe.
Basically, i can use Trim to do it but i think is not optimize for large amout range. So anyone can provide me better solution to do this. Exam

Layer(Clip1,Clip2,"timecode.txt")

with timecode.txt has startframe and endframe of each range.
Thank so much.

If it's just 1 replacement range, trim() is probably the easiest way to do it with least overhead.

When you have multiple frame ranges, or have a list or replacement frame ranges, you can look at remapframes plugin by stickboy which can take a mappings .txt file or string with RemapFramesSimple , ReplaceFrames, or other plugins like ClipClop

e.g
ReplaceFramesSimple(clip1, clip2 , mappings="[10 20] [10 20]")

this would replace frames 10-20 inclusive of clip1 with those from clip 2. Look at the documentation for the syntax and examples of the mappings txt file


For listing with a txt file, use RemapFrames

e.g
RemapFrames(clip1 , "PATH\replacement.txt", sourceClip=clip2)

If replacement.txt was something like:

[10 20] [10 20]
[100 200] [200 300]
.
.
.

10-20 of clip1 would be replaced by 10-20 of clip2
100-200 of clip1 would be replaced by 200-300 of clip2

Thank poisondeathray very much. Im gonna try it right now.

Another thing that should go without saying is you need frame accurate source filters when using plugins like these or any temporal filters - otherwise you can get mixed up frames. ie. that rules out things like DirectShowSource()

Thank you for remind me.
So if i have an Avi file (VFR framerate).
If i call it with script
DirectShowSource("path.avi",fps=25,convertfps=true )
So if call it with FFVideoSource("path.avi")
How about fps script?
I want to get same result, same frames order like load it with DirectShowSource("path.avi",fps=25,convertfps=true )

AVI cannot be VFR .

AVI is ALWAYS CFR
