I just created my own shell commands in cinelerraGG, such as:
-Shortcut to the cinelerraGG pdf manual
-Shortcut to the old cinelerraCV manual in pdf format
-The opening of a terminal
-Opening the gimp application
I noticed that there is an option "run /path/script.sh + argvs" that would be useful for me.
So I searched in the manual but I didn't find a very precise explanation and no example.
To do a test I created a little bash script that simply reads the first argument and adds it to the test.txt file.
I create the shortcut in cinelerra with the command "bash ~/Private/fab_guide/fab_guide-nos_videos/test.sh" and I check run /path/script + argvs
At runtime, cinelerraGG returns "test: error exit status 32512".
How does this option work?
Thank you for your prompt response.
Yes that's right. The manual page is https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/CinelerraGG_Manual/Menu_Bar_Shell_Commands.html. After reading it, I realized that there was an example that I hadn't seen before.
So I compared and found my mistake. I replaced the call command "bash ~/Private/fab_guide/fab_guide-nos_videos/test.sh" by "~/Private/fab_guide/fab_guide-nos_videos/test.sh" and check "/path/script + argvs".
Now the call of this little test script works
I can now try to create a script that will make a copy of the snaps but in a smaller size.
First of all, let me remind you that any shell commands that you set up are logged in $HOME/.bcast5/Cinelerra_rc where all of your setup variables are kept. So you may want to occasionally backup this file. It is kind of like your $HOME/.profile file for settings.
So the manual description you read is Menu Bar Shell Commands, I assume. And you can see information about RenderMux which I think you are using. For this case the important thing to understand is that this depends on CIN_RENDER being defined within your session. You got the error when you edited and checked the run box. What the RenderMux command runs is in wherever you installed Cinelerra at: ./doc/RenderMux.sh .
I too get the error and have to try to remember how this works and then will respond more intelligently, hopefully.
