Command line Encoder

A sample command line application for use with distributed render systems (Render Farms). Also adds creates sample scripts for Deadline

Supported Codecs:

Functions

Pre-multiply

The option can be called using ( -u or –premultiply) which if present will force the system to pre-multiply the alpha in the source file (if it contains an alpha channel)

Crop

Another option has been added to allow for multiple crops of the same file to be created, the switch is -g or –crop and takes the following format:

-g l,t,r,b,n

Where l,t,r and b are the left,top,right and bottom pixels of a rectangle that defines the area to be cropped and n is an optional string that gives a name to be given to this encoded crop file.

You can use as many crop definitions as required by just repeating the switch multiple times, for example:

FlexResCmdLine.exe -s C:\sourceFiles -d C:\targetFiles -g 0,0,960,540,topleft -g 960,0,1920,540,topright -g 0,540,960,1080,bottleft -g 960,540,1920,1080,bottright

Would create the following 4 files:

topleft.fxr
topright.fxr
bottleft.fxr
bottright.fxr

Each file 960 × 540 pixels representing the 4 quads of a 1920 × 1080 file.

If the last name parameter is not present (ie. -g 0,0,960,540) then the files created will be the given target name with _1,_2, _3,_4 appended to the end.

All crops are encoded in parallel to speed up the encoding process.
