Scripting

Depence offers an extensive script language to execute several control related commands for selection, creating effects and many more. 
Using script commands, you can accomplish some interesting tasks that aren't possible with simple scenes. For this purpose, you use the Depence script language and create script files in the 'Scripts' folder within the repository. These script files can be executed within a sequence in a script track.
The following commands are available:
​
