Scritping Dithering Frames

[Xio1996]

Hi Robin,

Is it possible to get/set the 'Dither every' property in the Guiding Tab when Live Stacking via the scripting model? I would like to set the dither every frame rate property remotely via a SharpCap script.

Many thanks

Hi Pete,

not really - you can run a sequence from scripting, but you cannot interact directly with a sequence that is already running.

If you want to change the dither dynamically during a sequence run then I think you are stuck I'm afraid. If you want to pick an interval before running the sequence then the scripting could modify the sequencer file and then run it.

cheers,

Hi Robin,

Thank you for the information. I did search the object model and couldn't find anything. I was hoping I had missed something ( I often do ).

I will give SharpCap.Sequencer.RunSequence("...") a go with a ... GUIDING DITHER EVERY 5 FRAMES ... etc. before I start live stacking.

Many thanks for your help.

Hi Pete,

If you are live stacking then the 'guiding dither every' step is inappropriate - that step is for plain capturing. Live stacking has its own dither settings which it will use - the ones you find in the 'guiding' tab of the live stacking UI. Unfortunately those are inaccessible via scripting too, and it would not be easy to make them accessible. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but will hopefully save you from trying things that don't work.

cheers,

Hi Robin,

Thank you. That stopped me from shouting at my PC this weekend, when it didn't work

Could I put a feature request in for version 5'ish?

Many thanks
