Saving project in quicktime compressed format?

[NathanOtano]

Hey
There is no tv_savemode to save in a quicktime compressed format right? Is it something not too hard to implement? It's the lightest video format in tvpaint that we use for review and I can't find a way to export it with george

[Thierry]

There isn't indeed, because the way we export in mov/mp4 is different from the other formats (due to some FFmpeg licensing rights).

It is stil on our radar to allow George export for those formats, but it won't be for 11.5.3.

Ok thanks

Earlier I asked Thierry about this and was told that it was difficult to specify some types of compression.
(Although we can select directly on the export screen ...)

I will attach the source file of my custom panel for reference.

Does your geroge script exports in the quicktime compressed format? I'm not sure to understand your post sorry

[Hironori Takagi]

My post is
・ .mov (ffmpeg) can be selected.
・ However, Prores / mpeg-4 / PNG cannot be selected. (keep the previous state only.)
It was the above intention.
Sorry for the lack of words (maybe due to automatic translation).

No problem for the translation, I'm already so glad you come to help on the english forum!
Your script is greatly appreciated, i understand now and it helps me understand the problem I had
Best,

Hi,

On windows 10 (10.0.19044 Build 19044) and tvpaint (11.5.3-64bit dec 3 2021) isn't working.

Code: Select all

tv_FirstImage
FrameStart = result
tv_LastImage
FrameEnd = result

tv_SaveMode "Mode=1015"

tv_LockDisplay "Export Mov..."
tv_ProjectSaveSequence playblastPath FrameStart FrameEnd
tv_UnLockDisplay

There is another way to export MOV ?

[Hironori Takagi]

I don't know why, but in the script I wrote

tv_SaveMode "Mode = 1015"

after,

tv_SaveMode

It worked when I added.
Again, I don't know why.

tv_SaveMode "Mode = 1015"

Have you been told by someone to do this ?

When trying to match the command result in the code, 1015 seems to activate the external saver aka FFmpeg.

You may try to use Mode=1010 instead, which would in theory activate the internal QT saver.

tv_SaveMode "Mode = 1015"

Exactly, is working now !

thanks

If i want to transpose this export settings

tempsnip.png (29.42 KiB) Viewed 10433 times

to george code, should be :

Code: Select all

FUNCTION exportMp4()
    tv_LockDisplay "Export..."
    tv_SaveMode
    tv_SaveMode "Mode=1016"
    tv_SaveMode
    tv_ProjectSaveSequence playblastPath frameIn frameOut
    tv_UnLockDisplay
END

In other way, tv_ProjectSaveSequence equal to Export Footage > Clip:Display ?

regards,

[NathanOtano]

good news

[jeremyb]

hum, not at all...still a question...because if i run this script i've got en .mov but is totaly white or black with NaN value...
same with mode=1015

[NathanOtano]

argh T_T
Have you tried =1010 like xavier suggested?
