I get this bug too and can't get the patch working. But I do like opwnshot-render.
Maybe OpenShot-render can just do the export to XML and then call melt internally instead of doing so much itself. But openshot-render is important because it is the batch functionality of openshot and needs to be maintained in my opinion because openshot relying on users to directly understand and use melt makes it a non-ubiquitous product or a nebulous mass of video editing softwares. Currently Openshot is a program that allows complete control of it's functionality from within it's own install and when you add things like blender, they are just used in the background. That a more wholesome include of functionality. And exporting the XML file to go through melt is less useful to because you have to go into openshot to pull out a projects XML and that requirement breaks large scale nightly batch operations that people have chroned or scripted out. I think it would be cool to have a project property some how like "add to nightly batch", with some simple profile editors that could go along with the batch entry, and a batch menu that can allow for nightly timing. - Dsmurl -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenShot Bugs, which is subscribed to OpenShot Video Editor. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/729359 Title: openshot-render crash with "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'settings'" Status in OpenShot Video Editor: Confirmed Bug description: When trying to render a project with openshot-render it crashes with AttributeError. The project.form attribute, which seems to be a reference to a GTK form, is never set when running from openshot- render. I was extremely happy to find the render-tool, as I've spent days trying to figure out a way to do a big batch job. Not so happy when I realised it didn't work. ;) 1) Ubuntu 10.10 (Also on 10.04) 2) Installed from repositories 3) Openshot-version 1.3.0 OUTPUT: $openshot-render proj.osp rendering options: container type: avi video codec: mpeg4 video bitrate: 5000000 audio codec: libmp3lame audio sample rate: 44100 channels: 2 audio bitrate: 128000 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/openshot-render", line 58, in <module> main() File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/openshot/openshot_render.py", line 37, in main bot.render() File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/openshot/classes/cli_render.py", line 239, in render self.current_project.GenerateXML(os.path.join(self.USER_DIR, "sequence.mlt")) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/openshot/classes/project.py", line 258, in GenerateXML self.sequences[0].GenerateXML(dom, tractor1) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/openshot/classes/sequences.py", line 226, in GenerateXML bg_track.GenerateXML(dom, multitrack, fps=fps) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/openshot/classes/track.py", line 110, in GenerateXML current_frame = MyClip.GenerateXML(dom, playlist, current_frame, fps=fps) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/openshot/classes/clip.py", line 466, in GenerateXML use_affine = self.parent.parent.project.form.settings.general["use_affine"] AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'settings' To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/729359/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~openshot.bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~openshot.bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
