It looks like you have three parts to this puzzle:
- auto-editor
- resolve
- Python

It's not clear which part isn't working but you can at
least test Python is working after you install it
by running the interpreter in a console/terminal
window by typing python at the command prompt.

If you get the Python prompt:

>>>

Then Python is installed OK.

After that it's back into auto-editor and resolve and this is
not the best place to get answers for those. Resolve at least
has an active support forum, so I'd start there(assuming
python works!)

Re: Fwd: AUTO EDITOR DIDN'T WORK

[Real Live FootBall Tv via Python-list]

I have followed the instructions given on how to install the app. What I
needed was an application to cut of silence from my video and I saw auto
editor demonstrated as one of the applications that could do that. It does
cut the silent areas of an MP4 format video for instance but would save it
as a XML file which in turn would be exported to the video editor that
supports the output from the auto editor app. The one who demonstrated it
in a video used Davinci Resolve to import the XML file, I followed same
process but I couldn't get same result.
Thanks for all your contributions.

RE: Fwd: AUTO EDITOR DIDN'T WORK

[AVI GROSS via Python-list]

I think it is time to ask this topic to go find some other place to talk to 
itself.

I have seen NO reason to think any question about problems with Python has been 
asked. Not properly.

It sounds like someone messed up an installation, perhaps of other programs 
like an editor and some unspecified thing does not work. I suggest they start 
over and be careful so that if some specific version of Python is needed, it 
gets installed in the right place and so on. We here cannot be expected to have 
much idea about programs that perhaps we do not use.

Python can be used to build an editor, or parts it runs when needed, and it can 
be used to create or consume XML, or do things with audio formats. So can many 
other languages. If it was needed here and the setup was wrong or sabotaged, 
that is not something easily handled here.

Or did I miss something? If so, I know others here also missed it too.

If there is a more specific problem like some lines of actual python code not 
doing what was expected, please share that specifically with enough detail.

I don't understand when you talk about an "XML file". Auto-editor 
works on video files, or at least .mp4 files, which are not XML files. 
Davinci Resolve does have some ability to interoperate with other 
editors using XML in some way (according to Wikipedia, 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DaVinci_Resolve) but that's a different 
thing completely.


I also don't know what you mean by "after rendering the XML file" 
since from what I can see auto-edit doesn't render anything.


The simplest thing that auto-editor can do is to cut out long periods 
of dead space, e.g., from an mp4 file.  Their documentation shows how 
to do it.  If it were me, I would run the example command line on a 
sample mp4 file, then see what it looked like in Davinci.  Is that 
what you did? It should be the same video but with some dead space 
removed.


(Note that I'm speaking from a place of no experience with either of

auto-edit? Never heard of it. xml? I've written hundred of kilobytes of 
it in plain old geany. I didn't know there was a special editor for xml.

I don't understand when you talk about an "XML file". Auto-editor works

auto-edit? Never heard of it. xml? I've written hundred of kilobytes of 
it in plain old geany. I didn't know there was a special editor for xml.

You need to define "didn't work"
Did it work as a python interpreter?
ie. Did you get a >>> prompt in a terminal?
and without involvement from your video editor?
If so, what did you do to link it to the video editor?
And what was the result?

Or did Python not even start? How did you try to use it?
What OS are you on? Did the installer run OK?

It will be hard to impossible to help without some specific information. 
 Like - what happened to cause you to say "it didn't work", what 
version of what operating system and Python you use, how you installed 
the Auto Editor package, and why you are asking for help after 
uninstalling Python.  You sure won't get it working by uninstalling Python.


The home page for the app is, according to PyPi, 
https://auto-editor.com.  Have you gone through everything there before 
giving up?
