Subclip Tools
- Now supports selecting multiple items for either transcoding individual subclips or merging subclips
- For vantage transcodes, the source_shape now only needs to be specified in the vantage configuration, the subclip tools source_shape is only for conforms
- Reworked the transcode health check to support multiple items and unify several health check UIs in various plugins
- Improved the logging for the Transcode Subclip jobs to show the profile(s) being used, the timecode ranges being transcoded, and the source shapes being used
- For merge, currently the metadata from the first item/subclip in the output file is used for the output item’s metadata.
- Note: The conform api only allows a single source shape to be used for merging multiple items. The plugin will search for a shape that is valid across all items being merged and use that.
