END OF AN ERA, FRACTALFORUMS.COM IS CONTINUED ON FRACTALFORUMS.ORG

Hi Jesse,

today I've started a new rendering. I did an animation of an julia-hybrid which changes the camera-position while changing also the julia-parameters.
Because of the changing parameters while camera-movement, I've had to render a preview to check for frames where the camera cuts the morphing fractal.
For this I've rendered first a complete preview and than tried to find the keyframes between which the camera cuts, through rendering a preview between keyframe 1 and 2, than 2 and 3, ... until I've found the corresponding keyframes.
To speed this up i thought, it would be nice to have a label inside the preview-window, which displays the current frame and keyframe, e.g. "Frame 80 of 2000" and "Keyframe 2 of 20", while the preview is played.

Thanks for reading

You're right, it's probably in any way the best option to do so, but sometimes I'm just so captured in flying through the fractal ^.^
Another idea I've had this day, would be a button in the animation window, to interpolate a keyframe between two keyframes with the position and parameters like in the animation without the interpolated keyframe. This would make it easier to alternate the route between two keyframes.
