Project Format Specification

A project is defined using a project format specification file.

This file is of the following format :

<Global Parameters>
# one or more output sections
[output]
key=value
...
# zero or more source sections
[source]
key=value
...

Note that :

  • The keys (e.g. convertFilter) are case-sensitive
  • The values (e.g. bilinear) are case-insensitive.
Data Types

The various data types we can use in the specification are as shown in the table below.

Data Type Description Example

<bool>

A boolean true/false

true, false

<int>

An integer number

1556

<float>

A floating point number

29.97

Global Parameters

These parameters appear outside an output or source section, at the start of the file.

Required options are in bold.


Name Values Default

colourScaling

SMPTE CGR FilmLog VideoLog

-

outputClip

<bool>

-

Output Section Parameters

These parameters appear inside an output section.

Name Values Default Note

width

<int>

-

The width (x resolution) of the output format in pixels.

height

<int>

-

The height (y resolution) of the output format in pixels.

fps

<float>

-

The frames per second. If no decimal point set, we add a .0 automatically e.g. 29.97, 25

aspectRatio

<int>/<int>

-

The output format image aspect ratio. Specify as M/N e.g. 1316/1000

dropFrame

<bool>

false

Set if output format is drop-frame.

cacheOutput

<bool>

false

Specifies if Cache Output is enabled on output format.

videoOutput

<bool>

false

Specifies if Video Output is enabled on output format.

fields

f2:f1,f1:f2,frames

frames

Specifies if output format is field based and gives field order.

channels

RGB,RGBA

RGB

Colour channels.

bitDepth

8,10,16,half

10

Output colour depth per colour channel, in bits per pixel.

convertMode

none,fit,crop,center

none

Output format conversion from source.

convertFilter

none,box,bilinear,gaussian,zom,lanczos

zom

What conversion filter to use on the source (if convertMode not "none").

applyCms

<bool>

false

Specifies if the Apply CMS toggle is on or off.



Source Section Parameters

These parameters appear inside an input section.

Name Values Default Note

scale

<int>

-

Sets the scale of the source/proxy. This integer will divide the width and height to set the proxy size. A scale N gives an "N:1" proxy.

bitDepth

8,10,16,half

10

Output colour depth per colour channel, in bits per pixel.

convertFilter

none,box,bilinear,gaussian,zom,lanczos

zom

Only applicable if scale > 1.
