A proposal to add scriptable batch processing to OC.
This can be split into two basic approaches:
# In-Program scripting (load and execute scripts in the running software, bind them to shortcuts, maybe a small console to enter things "live", logging)
# OS-level scripting (start program without GUI, set flags to do specific things, load specific tasks, etc)
**Goals**
- a clever abstraction of all the tasks the software can do
- hover on gui elements shows tooltips describing the function name needed to call the function bound to click events?
- ability to use wildcards or regex on available metadata (filename and format, clip lengths, resolution, bitrates, start- and endtimecodes, number of audio tracks, GPS-Location, modification time, ...) to change, delete or add metadata, or to select clips based on it
- access to individual file contents if needed (for example to run a custom auto white balancing script, to automatically add metadata to footage with a detected greenscreen in it, find video clips where one side of the audio is silent and delete this unecessary track etc.)
Scripting language proposal: python (for compability with blender userbase)
