Add video enhancements using a Watch Folder event

26/9/2024

0 Comments

 
The Situation
You have been playing a RightBooth video recording event and during the event it has failed to add video enhancements to one or more of the videos that are recorded during the event.
At the end of the event you now have a set of videos, some of which still require video enhancements to be added. This article explains how to do this.

1 - Move unprocessed videos into a folder
Take all the videos that require enhancement processing and move them into a new folder on your computer.  In this example we create the folder: C:\videos and place the unprocessed videos into this folder.
​
2 - In RightBooth, open the recording event that you have been using for recording the videos and adding the enhancements
Here we have an example event file named VideoEvent.  In Event Designer --> Event type you can see that the event is set as a Recording event:

​In Event Designer --> Event structure, you can see that the event is set to add various enhancements to the recorded videos:

​3 - Set the Recording event as a Watch folder event
In Event type, select the Watch folder option.  This stops the event from being a Recording event and now sets it as a Watch folder event.
Then, select the folder you want the event to watch.  Here we are watching the folder C:\Videos.  Note that the event continues to be named VideoEvent...

​Notice that, as a Watch folder event, while some of the event features are no longer available, the video enhancements are still included:

4 - Play the event
Now when you play the event, it will:
  • watch the folder C:\Videos and it will find all the unprocessed videos in there
  • process each video in turn, automatically adding the video enhancements
  • place the processed videos in the 'VideoEvent' output folder

When the job is complete, you can switch the event back to being a Recording event.

IMPORTANT - A Watch folder event automatically deletes the files from the watch folder and places the processed files in the output folder.  For this reason you might want to make a backup copy of your source files before you put them through the watch folder process.  Doing this will allow you to repeat the watch folder process (for whatever reason) if required at a later date.
