Make your encodes a breeze with python using pyAutoEncode. This script allows the complete automation of encoding a video with only a few clicks. This project uses Python, Python Pip packages, as well as AutoHotKey to automate the process of using the x264, Avspmod, avs2yuv, ffmpeg and Sound Forge applications to create high quality encodes.

FAQ

Q. Can I adjust the x264 command?
A. Yes you may adjust the x264 from config file (insert file name here)

Q. Where can I find my API key for the AHD img auto screenshot upload?
A. Login to https://img.awesome-hd.me/settings

Q. Does this script work on Windows Server?
A. Yes but you may have to follow the install instructions in the optional folder.

Q. Why is my Sound Forge opening the wrong folder and or saving to the wrong folder?
A. You have to open Sound Forge manually the first time and open a file where your wav files are located, and manually save the file into the directory where you want it next time. After doing this it use the correct directory's automatically through the script the next time.
