#### Post-Processing
The post-processing gives you the possibility to run any script / program after a recording has finished. You can use that to convert
the files to another format, create preview images, rename / move the file etc.
There are example scripts included in the distribution zip (`pp.bat`, `pp.ps1`, `pp.sh`). See also the comments in those files.

##### Local Recording
If you are using the local recording mode, you can set the post-processing script / program on the settings tab under *Recorder* -> *Post-Processing*.
ctbrec will call the selected script after the recording has finished with the following parameters:

1. directory (absolute path)
2. file (absolute path)
3. model name
4. site name
5. unixtime (seconds since 1/1/1970 00:00)

##### Remote Recording (server)
If you are running the server and want to run a post-processing script, you have to edit the [configuration file](/docs/ConfigurationFile.md). Just set the absolute path to an executable script / program for the setting **postProcessing**. Since the recordings look a bit different for the server, the parameters, which are passed to the script are a bit different, too:

1. parent directory (absolute path)
2. directory of the recording (absolute path) - this directory contains the segments and the playlist
3. model name
4. site name
5. unixtime (seconds since 1/1/1970 00:00)
