3.23

  • Implement direct render preview (#75)

    smartRender offers now instant previews on outputs as they render inside the job log view. When submitting a new job, the preview will fill its frames up (indicated in green) as they are rendering so you get immediate feedback for your render jobs. You can scrub the timeline and play the preview as needed.

    Inside the job history select a job and press and hold P to show the output frames preview. Release P to hide the render preview.

3.22

  • Add additional transcode root directories via environment variable (#74)

    Add additional root directories to look up for transcoding templates by adding these paths to the environment variable CRAGL_SMARTRENDER_ADDITIONAL_TRANSCODING_ROOTS. Concatenate multiple root directory paths with a semicolon on Windows and a colon on Linux and MacOS.
