Generate mp4 videos for multiple files at once

[former_member721523]

Does anyone know of a way to generate mp4 files for multiple projects without having to do them one by one? We've just decided we'll need to have mp4 versions of all simulations due to a setting in the LMS, but it's taking ~5 minutes/project to generate the video. We have about 200 recordings, so if there's a way to avoid doing this manually, it would save a lot of time! Thanks!

The video is basically created by playing back the Demo mode and capturing this in real time, so it is going to take as long as it takes to run through them in Demo mode. No easy way around that.

I'm not aware of a way to generate video for an entire Group (at the moment you have to go into each simulation individually) but maybe some enterprising person will write a script to do it...

Doing it manually is only feasible for a small number of files. I've been using Movavi for various video editing projects, and they have a feature for batch processing, which should help with your situation. It allows you to convert multiple files at once, saving time.

Generating MP4 one by one do takes a lot of time, but to some extent it's unavoidable. I heard that using WinX video converter you can put the file in queue and set the output profile format as MP4 and just leave it there, waiting until it's completed.
