It will be nice if there will be a button to render only UHD cache, for example in UHD Cache Rollout.
Now to do that i have to set render time to one second (it makes almost blank images in output that shouldn’t be created in this case). Then to render final footage i need to change render limits back to normal, change from “try to load+append” to “load from file” and delete rubbish 1 second frames (or choose to overwrite them). It could be simplified i think.
Making cache file is bit confusing right now.
“Try to load + append” doesn’t say that it will create a new file when there is no file to load. Maybe it should be renamed to something like: “Create or Update”.
Sometimes i forget to switch from “Discard” to “Save to file” when creating cache. Maybe it should be set to Save by default? I mean in case you choose load+append option.
I presume that using load+append is intended to use in animation only, and to make animation cache properly u should use Animation (flicker free) preset, right? If thats true, maybe it should also change preset automatically?
Example of workflow i’d like to see:
- Choose in which frames i need to calculate cache.
- Change from “Calculate from scratch” to “Create or update” and i choose location where i want it to be created.
- Corona automatically switches preset to Animation (flicker-free) and changes from Discard to Save after render. (but i stiill can change it for tests or something)
- Use beautiful newly created “Render UHD only” button.
- When it’s finished, corona automatically changes from “Create or update” to “Load from file”. (in case i want to append more frames i just switch it back to create or update).
- Choose frames range for final rendering.
- Hit render
- Done!
What do you think?
