  • [Feature Request] Copy parameters in Export settings

    anglais

Was just thinking maybe there can be a button in the export settings that can copy parameters from one type of export to the other,

Mostly Viewport and Size params... I find myself copying those manually very often.

I think this is an interesting idea and worth considering. However, I don’t quite get the situation where you would need to copy the viewport and size parameters so often. Could you please tell us what causes that situation? I would like to know that as a reference since we need to write down specific situations in which it would be effective when creating an issue ticket for this feature.

Normally I export as a gif, while cropping it, then after approval I send PNG sequence with the same crop.
and at the and export as mov video for portfolio.

Sometimes I export as gif but client asks to export mov file. then they just want to experiment with WEBM.

Would be crazy if those copied values could be transferable from project to project, since sometimes I have 10 objects and they all need to be exported exactly in the same ratio/size document, so I end up copying from one window to another value by value... but I guess this fix is not happening 😃

So maybe just copy between export types within the same project instance.

Thank you for clarifying! Your proposal is adding a feature to copy the Viewport and Size settings, but there are other common settings such as Render, Smoothing, and Multisample AA, so I created an issue ticket as a proposal to add a button to copy the common export settings for all formats:

If you have anything to add, please feel free to add a comment to the ticket above.

If it helps, I found a very simple workaround!
It works like this:

  1. save the export settings that you'd like to copy as a json
  2. save also the export settings in the format you'd like to get them into (you don't have to set anything here
  3. in a text editor, open the two jsons, then take the second line of the file, that may look something like "class": "export-webm", and copy that into the other file that has all the settings you want. Save the file.
  4. Load the file and enjoy!

If you don't know about saving export settings in general, here's the user guide mention:

Fantastic Thanks guys
