Create MP4 with specified file name Answered

Hi,

In my review script I can successfully generate an MP4 for displacement shapes using something like

grph
     set imag mpeg
     plot shap 1
     imag
     end

However, this saves the MP4 into the current directory using the script name. I'd like to save the MP4 into another directory, and if possible, with another name.

Can you help me with that?

Thanks,

Marco

    Hi Marco,

    There is no way to do this with our standard Flex/Review commands.

    You would need to create a separate Review input file and use command line operations to do this:

    c Creating Directory to store renamed file
    symb #submit mkdir 'Folder'

    c Rename Output File
    symb #submit rename 'Modeshapes.mp4' 'MS1.mp4'

    c Move Specific File
    symb #submit move 'MS1.mp4' 'Folder'

    The #submit symb command essentially runs Command Line so standard functions like mkdir and rename all work to handle files and folders.

    Best regards,

    Kevin
