Explosive Bullet
2022-03-20 03:30:32 UTC @ralph Small but annoying thing that I must harass you over is that when I export multiple pngs from a single project, why do they list themselves in four digits (photo_0000_19292228.png), only to have the numbers and an underscore after the four digits which give frame data. This screws up any image sequencing which is currently forcing me to “prepare” the files by running them through blender at lossless quality then running them through blender again to break the video up into PNGs that are sequenced correctly in their filename then run them through adobe media encoder to finally be in a usable video file. I don’t use lower compression in blender as that causes those wierd artifacts that I posted earlier and the alternatives to blender all require proper image sequence names from the looks of it.
Instead of “photo_0000_10994883833.png”
It should be “photo_0000.png”
Just would be a quality of life thing which would make my life much easier having me export from SN, then compile the frames through the encoder and be done.

Create your own stickman animations on your Android or iOS device!
quick answer is because android is gay and since export location is now the proper Android media library, they do not make it easy (across all the various Android device types and their quirks) to check if a filename already exists
so instead of having ppl complain of file-overrides or files not saving bc already exists due to their device being one of these quirky ones, i just appended a timestamp to the end
would it help if i swapped the order and had it be filename_timestamp_0001.png so it would have the sequence at the end?
Yes. Anything to get the sequence at the end. Cause then it is just one process. I like how these softwares actively make it harder for app devs from the sounds of it.
its because of the Android ecosystem where there’s soooo much variety from device manufacturers both in terms of actual physical devices, chips, etc and also the actual Android OS that is “tweaked” (Kindle, etc)
vs iOS where it’s all just Apple™®©
That’s true I guess. It would be sweet if it was more like windows in that matter I guess.
