Subject:watermarking---please help
Posted by: papisound

Hello to all,

I am wondering if any one has a script that will do a batch watermarking and would be so gracious to share the script.?

I just need to take a bunch of music files in a directory and and mix it with another short clip (watermark) and output the results to a different directory. I would like the watermark to repeat with about 10 seconds in between each repeat.

If anyone one could assist I would be greatly appreciative!!!

Look in the scripting SDK for a sample script called Mix Tone Every 4 Seconds.cs

Thanks for the tip, but still more quesitons.
First off I had to find it in SDK sound forge 9. I have soundforge 8...will it still run the script?

Then I looked at the script and is this were I change the script to my appropiate file locations>:
ISfFileHost file = app.CurrentFile;
ISfFileHost filePop = app.OpenFile(@"e:\media\pop48k.wav", true, true);

I assume the pop48k.wav is the watermark...but how do I make the target file be all the files within a particular directory?

Thanks!!
Hector

That script was originally written with Sound Forge 8. So it should work,
the only way to know for sure is to try it.

Then I looked at the script and is this were I change the script to my appropiate file locations
Yes.

but how do I make the target file be all the files within a particular directory?
See the sample GenericMultiOpenAndProcess.cs, or GenericProcessAFolder.cs for examples of how to loop and process multiple files in a single script.

I greatly appreciate you showing me around, but i would have to say i am not a programmer. But i did get this far and tried to combine the two scripts you pointed to. The end result is this:

You should put [code] [/code] tags around you code so that the formatting doesn't get lost.

It's really hard to read with all of the formatting lost.

thanks,

Ah yes. I see the problem. for some reason the code to choose an output format is commented out.

you need to change this line
    /* ISfRenderer rend = app.FindRenderer(null, strOutputType);

to this
   ISfRenderer rend = app.FindRenderer(null, strOutputType);


and this line
      return "no render template - quitting"; */

to this
      return "no render template - quitting";


Or, in other words, remove the comment markers /* */ that surround the code
that chooses an output format.
