Automating R Demonstration Videos Paul Murrell 10.17608/k6.auckland.4292831.v1 https://auckland.figshare.com/articles/dataset/Automating_R_Demonstration_Videos/4292831 This document describes a proof-of-concept for producing R demonstration videos in a fully-automated manner. The “script” for the video consists of a text file containing code chunks paired with text commentary. The video is produced by running the code while recording a screen capture, using text-to-speech software to record audio of the commentary, then combining video and audio with appropriate timings and pauses. 2016-12-07 21:45:00 R language video automation reproducibility wmctrl xdotool ffmpeg director Computer Software
