GeneratedAssetLocation

GeneratedAssetLocation

is an option for functions like VideoGenerator that specifies the location of the resulting asset.

Details

  • Typical settings include:
  • Automaticautomatic setting
    File[…] or "file"storing in a local file
    LocalObject[…] or "LocalObject"storing in a local object
    CloudObject[…] or "CloudObject"storing in a cloud object
    "CloudObjectPublic"storing in a cloud object with permission set to public
    "dir/"storing under the directory dir, using an automatic file name
    Nonestoring in memory when possible
  • In GeneratedAssetLocation"dir/", if the directory "dir" already exists then the trailing path name separator is optional.
  • Use GeneratedAssetFormat to specify the format of the resulting asset.

Basic Examples  (1)

Specify the location of the generated asset in VideoGenerator:

Wolfram Language code: VideoGenerator[RandomImage[], GeneratedAssetLocation -> "random.mp4"]

Scope  (5)

Specify the location of the generated asset using a File object:

Wolfram Language code: VideoGenerator[RandomImage[], GeneratedAssetLocation -> File["random.mp4"]]

Specify the location of the generated asset using a LocalObject:

Wolfram Language code: VideoGenerator[RandomImage[], GeneratedAssetLocation -> LocalObject["Video"]]

The resulting LocalObject will contain a video file:

Wolfram Language code: FileFormat@LocalObject["Video"]

Specify the location of the generated asset using a CloudObject:

Wolfram Language code: VideoGenerator[RandomImage[], GeneratedAssetLocation -> CloudObject["Video"]]

The resulting LocalObject will contain a video file:

Wolfram Language code: FileFormat@CloudObject["Video"]

Specify a directory for the generated asset:

Wolfram Language code: VideoGenerator[RandomImage[], GeneratedAssetLocation -> $WolframDocumentsDirectory]

The resulting asset will be created in the specified directory using an automatically generated file name:

Wolfram Language code: Information[%, "ResourcePath"]

Use None to generate a result that doesn't rely on an external asset:

Wolfram Language code: SpeechSynthesize["Hello", GeneratedAssetLocation -> None]

Not all functions support GeneratedAssetLocationNone:

Wolfram Language code: VideoGenerator[RandomImage[], GeneratedAssetLocation -> None]

Properties & Relations  (1)

The automatic location for the generated asset depends on the specific function.

For Video-related functions, assets will be generated in the "Video" directory under $WolframDocumentsDirectory:

Wolfram Language code: FileNameJoin[{$WolframDocumentsDirectory, "Video"}] v = VideoGenerator[RandomImage[], GeneratedAssetLocation -> Automatic]; Information[v, "ResourcePath"]

For Audio-related functions, assets will be generated in the "Audio" directory under $WolframDocumentsDirectory:

Wolfram Language code: FileNameJoin[{$WolframDocumentsDirectory, "Audio"}] a = SpeechSynthesize["Hello", GeneratedAssetLocation -> Automatic]; Information[a, "ResourcePath"]
