[OBSOLETE] Create Launch/Loading Video's from playfield with overlay

View File

---

This is the latest release of my cretae launch/loading videos fromplayfield.

The idea started when PinballX introduced loading Videos and @scutters modified his "Loading Video & Image Changer (de-randomiser) "

With Scutters his plugin and this program (and a lot of creativity of yourself), you can create your loading video's per table.
examples :
 

 
 

The video's that are created are just short playfield videos with multiple PNG's as overlay.
This program will just grab your playfield videos folder and take all the (missing) video's in it
It requires FFMPEG.exe to operate  (not included, because not sure if it was allowed to post)

The program contains a Config file to setup your configuration, an EXE file that will do all the magic and an INI file.
The INI file has already preconfigured the overlay PNG's from 

You need the overlay files as well for creating good overlay videos.

Overlay PNG that are created by @scutters and @Mike_da_Spike can also be found on FTP server /-PinballX-/Other Uploads/MikeDaSpike/OverlayPNG's

You can also use these one :

 

 

Launch the setup once ,point the overlay path to the directory where you have all your overlays PNG's and select the PinballX systems you want to create your loading/launch videos off.
You can check the  checkbox for also create new launch/loading videos when the playfield video is newer (in case you updated the the playfield video , but didn't update the launching videos)

An older version of the tool can be found here as well: 

it was hard to setup the INI file as well, so this is a light version with easier setup  
please let me know if you got any questions

I forgot to mention :
thanks to @scutters for the idea to add the recreation of older loading/launching videos (compared to playfield videos) !
Thanks mate !

Due to change of PinballX to core version, I needed to modify the code, as it was only searching for the old version of PinballX.
It will search first for the .net6 core version and if that is not found it checks the 'legacy' version.
