Title: Additional command line options wanted :-)
Post by: Xenos on April 28, 2011, 10:09:06 PM
Hi there, I've been busily rendering away over the past few weeks, using hints and tips from these forums, and your piece of very excellent software :-) Can't thank you enough for it.

Since I'm using Amazon EC2 for renders, I'd really like some more command line options - specifically

-fpk (Frames per keyframe)

and

-res 0000x0000 (Resolution, for instance 1920x1080)

These two have given me all kinds of trouble, since it seems that no matter what I do, I get 100 frames per keyframe, and sometimes a different resolution than I ask for (goes back to some kind of default, I keep forgetting what I do wrong when that happens)

This would ease my life enormously :-)
Oh, and thanks for adding one of my pics on DeviantArt to your favorites, Krzysztof :-) (I'm Esteanil there, since Xenos was taken)

I'll post some images and videos to the forums here soon =)

It is good idea to add these option for command line. But now you can control resolution and fps by putting proper parameters to rendered settings files. For example if you render animation from file animation.fract (mandelbulber -keyframe animation.fract), you have to set this resolution in file animation.fract.
