Automation

EditReady has two levels of automation:

• EditReady Pro: App URLs

• EditReady Server: headless CLI

App URLs

You can tell EditReady to do something by calling the app URL: editready://. You can call this from any app or script that can open a URL.

Transcode

Transcodes a file or folder (also adds the file to the clip view).
