Hello @saulhidalgoaular - I just downloaded this, and went to play with it. I enabled video recording in the prefs, and recorded the time moving forward. But when I stopped recording the Is it a different process to record to video? That reminds me - we could do with some tutorial content on how to record to video. I'll send you a link. |

Thanks for this @saulhidalgoaular The linter has spotted a bunch of improvements. Some are in our code, others in 3rd-party Monte code. Where the issue is in our code, and is in new code related to this issue, could you investigate/resolve them please? |

Hello @saulhidalgoaular - is there a use-case when we run this app?

This is a tool to test manually the class that creates .mov files. You can upload some images and an audio and it creates a mov file from that. We don't have an use case in Debrief for this functionality. I am removing it.
By the way, there are many other classes like this one. Would you like me to delete them too? They are some tools to test partial functionality of the library.

Good afternoon. Which Windows' version have you tried? I am running it on Windows 10 and the dropdown button looks like this:

Oh, @saulhidalgoaular and @helenayele - can users choose to only record the Debrief plot window? That's the most likely recording use-case. |

I have added this option. Files generated are playable by Windows Media Player and "Movies & TV" without extra codecs. |
If you mean the only the map, currently it is not supported. I will work on this feature |
Do you still have the Dropdown the missing? |
Am onsite right now, without access to MS-Windows. Will check tomorrow morning. |

Hello @saulhidalgoaular - I've just had a play. A couple of items of feedback:

Yes, that's totally the issue :-) Is it an option for us to include ffmpeg? Oh, I see it's quite large. In that case yes - it's better to have it configurable. Let me install/test. |
|
@saulhidalgoaular - the missing-ffmpeg issue is probably going to arise a lot. Can we run a check for the existence of the file in specified in the preference, and throw a suitable warning if the property is empty, or the file doens't exist? |

@saulhidalgoaular - in this if structure, should it be retrieving the viewport of the current editor? Oh, and it shouldn't include the tabs at the top. So, it's the content pane of the current editor, not the whole of the current editor - please.
Update: I just tried selecting the new option, but it still records the whole Debrief window.

Correct. It is still not implemented. I need to find out how to calculate the viewport area. I pushed it partially to fix the bug mentioned in the comment above. 😢
