[Feature] Deliver Page Improvements

Open mezhgano opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

I think it might be handy to add these features to Delivery Page:

  1. Add button to queue all sheets for render at once. Why: if we have, say 10 sheets (episodes) we must click at least 19 times to queue them all, its quietly annoying.

  2. Add Sheet column to render queue with sheet name. Why: lets say we setup 10 different sheets for render with custom names, how can we ensure what sheet goes where? We can't, because we see only Destination column, but not Source (Sheet) column. Maybe its worth to add another columns or even Customize Columns option at right click of the mouse.

  3. Maybe it is to much to ask, but i really like to see Output File Name Template option. Why: right now Output File name is hardcoded to Parent Folder Sheet Name. I work with several studios with different file naming conventions, so there is 2 options: batch rename exported files after the render or manually setup file name for each sheet. It will be cool to add simple text field with ability to add a custom text and few tags like: Parent Folder, Sheet Name, Output Format.

Ideal way to setup batch render will be:

  1. Setup Output File Name Template to something like this: ProjectName__Final_Titles__<Sheet_Name>__Preview__2024-12-22 Where <Sheet_Name> is a tag and all other text is custom.

  2. Add tens of sheets to render queue with names generated from template above with 1 click.

  3. Hit render and enjoy :D

Thanks for the valuable suggestions! I now implemented (2) and (3), but I still have to think about the best way to tackle (1).

Cinecred 1.8.0 has just released and comes with suggestions (2) and (3) implemented. Until I find a better solution for (1), I've added a new shortcut (Ctrl+B) that is equivalent to clicking the "Add to render queue" button. You can now quickly enqueue multiple sheets by focusing on the sheet dropdown, and then alternatingly pressing Ctrl+B and the down arrow key.

I'll close this issue for now, but implementing a one-click solution for (1) remains on my internal ToDo list.
