Visual Compare with Script Commands

[Retailgeek]

Is it possible to make a visual comparison video using script commands?

At the moment, I'm making individual videos from the Advanced Setting Scripts tab, and then editing the resulting videos to put them together. I'd love to be able to create multiple runs videos with script commands.

Thanks!

It turns out the answer to my question was in the docs, in the form of the Advanced Visual Comparison Configuration.

You can run individual tests using scripts, and get resulting test IDs. Then use the Advanced Configuration URL to combine the separate test runs in a single video. A very cool tool!

There are additional customizations that can be done by modifying the tests parameter in the comparison URL directly.

URL structure: ...compare.php?tests=<Test 1 ID>,<Test 2 ID>...

The tests are displayed in the order listed and can be customized with options:

Custom label -l:<label> 110606_MJ_RZEY-l:Original
Specific run -r:<run> 110606_MJ_RZEY-r:3
Repeat view -c:1 110606_MJ_RZEY-c:1
Specific End Time -e:<seconds> 110606_MJ_RZEY-e:1.1
