  • Automatically Generate Slideshow

    Posted by Victor Warhol on August 17, 2013 at 6:50 am

    Good Day/Evening/Night

    So i have around 60 images that are part of a slideshow. I also have an XML file in the following format:

    <slides>
    <slide start="0" end="25">1</slide>
    <slide start="26" end="44">2</slide>
    ...

    <slide start="3009" end="3040">87</slide>
    </slides>

    Is there any way that i can automatically generate a video of the images such that they change at the proper timing?

    Thank you.

    It should be a pretty straightforward script to read in the xml file and add the appropriate slide to the comp at the appropriate time (I assume you know what the time numbers represent (seconds, frames, etc.) It would be a bit of work, but it’s all do-able. It’s simpler if the comp already exists and the slides are already imported, but the script could do that as well if you wanted to automate everything.
