# Command line interface (CLI)
|
|
|
|
LosslessCut has limited support for automation through the CLI. Note that these examples assume that you have set up LosslessCut in your `PATH` environment. Alternatively you can run it like this:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# First navigate to the folder containing the LosslessCut app
|
|
cd /path/to/directory/containing/app
|
|
# On Linux:
|
|
./LosslessCut arguments
|
|
# On Windows:
|
|
./LosslessCut.exe arguments
|
|
# On MacOS:
|
|
./LosslessCut.app/Contents/MacOS/LosslessCut arguments
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Open one or more files:
|
|
```bash
|
|
LosslessCut file1.mp4 file2.mkv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Override settings (experimental)
|
|
See [available settings](https://github.com/mifi/lossless-cut/blob/master/public/configStore.js). Note that this is subject to change in newer versions. ⚠️ If you specify incorrect values it could corrupt your configuration file. You may use JSON or JSON5:
|
|
```bash
|
|
LosslessCut --settings-json '{captureFormat:"jpeg", "keyframeCut":true}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Controlling a running instance (experimental)
|
|
|
|
If you have the "Allow multiple instances" setting enabled, you can control a running instance of LosslessCut from the outside, using for example a command line. You do this by issuing messages to it through the `LosslessCut` command. Currently only keyboard actions are supported. *Note that this is considered experimental and the API may change at any time.*
|
|
|
|
### Keyboard actions, `--keyboard-action`
|
|
|
|
Simulate a keyboard press action. The available action names can be found in the "Keyboard shortcuts" dialog (Note: you don't have to bind them to any key).
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Export the currently opened file
|
|
LosslessCut --keyboard-action export
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Batch example
|
|
|
|
Note that there is no synchronization, and the action will exit immediately, regardless of how long the action takes. This means that you will have to sleep between multiple actions.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
for PROJECT in /path/to/folder/with/projects/*.llc
|
|
LosslessCut $PROJECT
|
|
sleep 5 # wait for the file to open
|
|
LosslessCut --keyboard-action export
|
|
sleep 10 # hopefully done by then
|
|
LosslessCut --keyboard-action quit
|
|
done
|
|
``` |
