Reels Bounce
By Ricardo Cutz @Ricardo_Cutz
Hello all, someone reach out on instagram asking for my bounce reel script. I'm sharing it here.
Few considerations:
1- I'd made it on macros and later loop it repeating the first reel script;
2- it is necessary to firstly select the bounce location manually before start
3- You should create 2 tracks with the name MIX and 2CH so the script could find the appropriate tracks - you can change it, changing the script
4- I'm sharing only the first 2 reels, you need to loop it to the number of reels you want.
5- The Batch Rename Clip operates loading a preset - you need to create it witht the same name '6ch-2ch' or create your own changing the names.
6- On thr first reel it checks various conditions on the BOUNCE WINDOW, sample rate, bit reate, interleaved, offline, no mp3,
import after bounce, etc... Eventually you need to change those parameters to meet your requirements.
7- enjoy it and improvements are welcomed!
