Temp folder
The software generates temp previews in the temp folder (e.g. Linux: ~/tmp/das-element). Files older than 14 days get automatically deleted on startup of the software. The amount of days can be adjusted by this environment variable: DASELEMENT_TEMP_KEEP_DAYS
Enable the debug mode
Set this environment variable to get more logging output: export DASELEMENT_LOG_LEVEL=debug
Element file path extension
By default all file extensions will be converted to lowercase.
Environment variables
It is possible to use other environment variables in the values for the environment variables.
Example:
export CURRENT_PROJECT=awesome_project
export DASELEMENT_CONFIG_PATH=/mnt/server/{CURRENT_PROJECT}/config/das-element.conf
Proxy transcoding of file sequences
The FFmpeg transcoding task for a file sequence with the frame rate set to "source" uses by default: 24fps
Transcoding Template order
The order of the transcoding templates and task of a transcoding mapping is:
main
additional
main proxies
main proxies - extra template
additional proxies
additional proxies - extra template
You can control with the Template Steps (template_step) if a certain template is execute for the template step. Either execute proxy/extra templates the ‘main' template, the 'additional’ template or for both.
