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.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)
- 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.
- 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
- 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.
- This determines the details of the output file.
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.
