EbSynth Auto Runer

This is a tool that can help you automate running EbSynth on your Mac to process the .ebs files generated in the ebsynth_utility extension.

🛠️ Installation

First, you need to install EbSynth on your Mac, and move the EbSynth.app to the /Applications folder.

Then, all you need is Python 3.6+ and pip, and just run the following commands in you Terminal:

pip install ebsynth-auto-runer

🚀 Usage

Fist, you should give the Screen Recording and Accessibility permission to the Terminal app to control your Mac, and you can do this in the System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Screen Recording and Accessibility.

Then, you should generate the keyframes and .ebs files with the ebsynth_utility extension.

Finally, you should open the Terminal app, and cd to the ebsynth-auto-runer project folder, and run the following command in your Terminal to start the automation:

# You should replace the /path/to/your/project with your own path which is also the `ebsynth_utility` project path
ebsynth-run /path/to/your/project

If you forget to give the permission to the Terminal app, the macOS will ask you to grant the Screen Recording and Accessibility permission to the Terminal app, and you should retry after you grant the permission.

If you want to know more about the arguments, just run the following command in your Terminal:

python main.py --help

⚠️ NOTE

• Please check the permission of the Terminal app before you run the EbSynth automation, and you should give the Screen Recording and Accessibility permission to the Terminal app.
• You can freely to use your Mac while the EbSynth is running, but you should make the EbSynth window show at the top of the screen when the EbSynth ends the current .ebs file processing.
