Fill Image Sequence Gap Different Option #42

Closed AlfyAnahuac closed 1 year ago

AlfyAnahuac commented 1 year ago

Hi! Thank you for this add-on it's helping me quite a bit. I noticed in the documentation it says you can fill the gaps in the image sequence by pulling the closest frame available. Is there a way to change it so it specifically targets only the previous frame?

As an example, say I'm rendering something in constant interpolation, so there is only really a change after a keyframe is placed. So say I have a keyframe at frame 20 and another keyframe at frame 30.

So I ask the addon to render only 2 frames (20 and 30) and I want specifically for it to copy only frame 20 to fill from 21-29 without using 30 for the frames that would be closer to it (as in 26-29).

So is there a way or could you add the option to only go from the frame previously rendered instead of the frames "closer"?

Hi @AlfyAnahuac,

by default, frame 20 is copied until frame 30 is reached so you get exactly what you describe right? Not a native speaker but that's what 'closest frame' means :) If you have suggestions for improving the documentation, please let me know or just open up a pull request. I would greatly appreciate any improvement in that regard.

Cheers, Christian

Hi @AlfyAnahuac,

I just updated the documentation and hope this is a better description of what the operator is doing. If something is still unclear or could be improved, please let me know.

Note that yesterday I also found a small bug and updated the latest release. If you'd like to use it and just want to fill the gaps of the given sequence, make sure Ignore Scene Range property to the left is enabled (as now also described in the documentation).

Cheers, Christian

Ah I see. Closest is a bit confusing but the change makes it clearer now. Thank you!
