Hi Gunther,
I want to create a batch script to extract the thumbnails from the RAW files with dcraw (command -e) and feed them into x264 to create a quick preview for ages.
Since x264 is totally commandline driven it should be possible to feed the preview images while loading to x264 at the same time, or do that later if needed.
The only necessary options for the preview would be --RF and --preset and resolution (480p, 720p, 1080p for the sake of simplicity...).
With a decent rig, creating those previews would take 2 minutes.
With that feature one could generate those previews for each folder quickly after the shot which would come in handy when browsing through the image sequences later.
I know there is the play button, but it would be nice to have a preview mp.4 file in each folder when browsing through the files.
What do you think about that idea?
If you have questions regarding x264 feel free to ask!
David
