Playlist Video Renderer - Auto-generate 60s videos for your playlists!

[STAiNLESS]

Playlist Video Renderer Plugin 📽️

Hi everyone! 👋

I've created a new plugin that automatically generates 60-second video trailers for your playlists. It grabs short clips from the games in your playlist, stitches them together with random transitions (wipes, slides, fades), and overlays a custom music track.

It's nothing flash, but better than nothing.

 

Features ✨

• One-Click Rendering: Accessible directly from the Tools menu. 🖱️
• Smart Stitching: Grabs 5-second highlights from your existing Game Videos. 🎬
• Dynamic Transitions: Uses FFmpeg xfade to apply random transitions (wipes, slides, circles, etc.) between clips. 🔄
• Custom Music: Automatically detects and uses background music from:

  Quote

  Music\Playlists\<PlaylistName>\<PlaylistName>.mp3

  🎵
• Progress Tracking: Includes a progress bar so you know exactly how far along the render is. 📊
• Open Folder: Quick access button appears once the render is finished. 📂
• Looping Logic: If your playlist is small, it loops through games intelligently, offsetting the start time so you don't see the exact same clip twice. 🔁
• Updates Video File Path: Automatically adds the video file path to your playlist .xml file.

 

Installation 💾
