Installing Python

I've started to incorporate Python scripts into some of the techniques and effects that I'm demoing in my videos, so instead of covering Python in every video, I have made a blog entry for how to install Python.

First go to: https://www.python.org/

Find this section and click on the link:
Scroll down and find the Files section.

Identify the operating system and click on the link.  For me I have a 64bit Windows 10 installation, so I chose the one that is highlighted.


Once downloaded, run the installation file, and follow the installation prompts.

Once the installation completes, you can open a command prompt window by pressing the [Windows key] and then type "CMD".  This should bring up a choice to open a command prompt.


Click that, and in that prompt type 'python'.  If Python installed correctly you should see a printout similar to below:


If you see that set of printouts you have successfully installed Python on your computer.

Video Editing with PaintShop Pro

Video Editing with PaintShop Pro View the youtube video on this entry here:  Video Effects in PaintShop Pro The general process of this technique is to use a video editor (I'm using Magix Vegas Pro ) to break up a video clip into individual images.  Then use batch processing with PaintShop Pro to apply an effect. Then chase that with an import in Vegas to recreate a video from the images. In this way we can create any script in PaintShop Pro, and apply it to a video clip in Magix Vegas. Rendering an Image Sequence In this phase, we are going to be working in the video editor (in my case Magix Vegas).  The first step is to drag the video clip (or clips) that you want to process into the timeline.  Once you have it arranged in the order you desire, go to File > Render As , and select Image Sequence as the Format , and choose which template you want to use, I'm going to use PNG.  Set the path, and note that this path will be filled with very many ...
