Auto FFMPEG render

This option lets you create deliverables using the files in the project, including the video file. A typical example would be a video with burnt-in subtitles. In order to use this you need.

• A video uploaded to the project and set to mode "Standard".
  
  • It also needs to be linked to the same node/part as the job that the translation is linked to.
  • Typically, this video should be a hi-resolution file without burnt-in timecode or text.
    • The simplest way to attach such a file to the project while also being able to work in the online editor is to use the "Media upload" delivery method for a previous job and select a conversion preset in the upload dialogue.
      • This will automatically store the original file with the project and create a lo-res proxy for the editor to use, giving them both the correct settings
    • (But adding the necessary files can also be done directly in the Filezone)
• A node with a subtitle linked to it
  • I.e. a subtitle file created by online editor
• A Render preset
  • This determines the details of the output file.
    • Text styling, video resolution and container, audio format, etc etc 
  • These are edited and created under Tools & Data and require some in-depth knowledge to manage
  • The two styling options support:
    • ASS: Italics, Raised, Bold, Underline, Coloured text
    • SRT: Italics, Raised, Bold, Underline
  • In order to use alternative fonts, they first need to be uploaded under Tools & Data / Fonts.

By combining these three, Plint can automatically create deliverables as a job.

The same tools and logic can also be applied to render videos "ad hoc" from the page Generate video copies, which can be accessed from the project bar.
