Introduction to Command Line Scripts

A script file can be executed from the command prompt using the standalone application eyeonScript.exe. Scripts run from the command line execute independently of Fusion, which means that Fusion does not have to be running in order for the script to launch and operate. Command line scripts can perform basic logic and filesystem operations, but they cannot process or affect images without the additional commands that become available once a script has connected to a running copy of Fusion.

Command line scripts can establish an interface (or connection) to a copy of Fusion running locally, or on any machine accessible through the TCP/IP networking protocol. Once a command line script has established an interface with Fusion, it can control that copy of Fusion, accessing properties and issuing commands to load, build or render compositions as needed.

A single instance of eyeonScript can create and manage any number of interfaces to running copies of Fusion. This allows command line scripts to be used to implement simple render managers or to integrate eyeonScript with your own render management applications. Note that Fusion does not have to be installed or licensed locally in order for eyeonScript.exe to run ascript.
