Editing Movie/.zmv Files

Post by Antoids »

I'm trying to repeat a certain input over and over 100 times. Is there a program I can use to edit the movie file? I have the correct input all ready to go, I just need to copypaste it 99 times.

EDIT: oh right, that's usually considered foul language

I advise using the key combo feature.

Is there a way to import a movie file into that? The sequence I need to script is about four minutes long per run.

EDIT: A link to a guide on the key combo feature would also be appreciated. I can't seem to find one after snooping around a bit.

You'll need a hex editor to edit them I assume. And no you can't import a movie to a keycombo. Not sure if you could assemble a 4 minute keycombo by editing the config files.

I don't remember the amount of data per combo max... probably 255 entries. if you need frame perfect stuff for 4 minutes straight, combos won't work.

I looked around, and the one hex editor I found which even mentions .zmv doesn't support it yet. Are there any that currently support .zmv editing?

I could probably deal with 3 or four combos linked together if I had to, it doesn't have to be frame-perfect at all, really. I'm confused as hell by the combo system, though, and it looks like I have to manually make them instead of letting it record my input, which is a no-go for me. I can't memorize the path that well.

Uh, a HEX Editor should be able to edit any file type shouldn't it? else it would be a fail editor right?

Unlikely.

Yes, manually. Capture is on The List (tm), but that's not exactly here and now.

Hexeditors are fine to edit content, but what can you do with content that you don't understand ?

Oh well. Thanks a lot, grinvader, you've been a great help, even if ultimately what I need is impossible at the moment. I'll just handle this manually. Thanks for your time.
