Comment 10 for bug 729359

I get this bug too and can't get the patch working. But I do like opwnshot-render.

Maybe OpenShot-render can just do the export to XML and then call melt internally instead of doing so much itself. But openshot-render is important because it is the batch functionality of openshot and needs to be maintained in my opinion because openshot relying on users to directly understand and use melt makes it a non-ubiquitous product or a nebulous mass of video editing softwares. Currently Openshot is a program that allows complete control of it's functionality from within it's own install and when you add things like blender, they are just used in the background. That a more wholesome include of functionality.

And exporting the XML file to go through melt is less useful to because you have to go into openshot to pull out a projects XML and that requirement breaks large scale nightly batch operations that people have chroned or scripted out.

I think it would be cool to have a project property some how like "add to nightly batch", with some simple profile editors that could go along with the batch entry, and a batch menu that can allow for nightly timing.
