[size=150]INSTALLATION INFORMATION[/size]
In the last few Deadline builds we changed how Draft is installed and distributed – it should primarily reside in a Draft folder in the root of the Deadline repository. Slaves will now check their version of Draft against the repository and self-update their local copies if/when needed. This works similarly to our regular auto-updating for the Deadline binaries, but is done by the Draft plugin when it is loaded up by the Slave. As such, to update Draft, all you should need to do is extract the attached .zip file in the root of your Deadline Repository, and it will propagate to the slaves when needed. It is strongly recommended that you manually remove any old local Draft installs on the slaves to prevent any conflicts (such as in C:\Program Files\Thinkbox\Deadline\bin\Draft)
[size=150]What’s New[/size]
- Added an optional quality parameter to the VideoEncoder constructor.
[list][*]quality is an integer in the range 0 to 100, inclusive. - quality and kbitRate are mutually exclusive – you can only specify one or the other.
- To specify the quality:
enc = Draft.VideoEncoder( "c:/path/to/out.mov", 24, 1280, 720, quality=90, codec="MJPEG" )Please note that if you use the quality parameter, then you must pass the codec parameter by name (codec=“MJPEG” in the example here).
