GIF preview feature #136
arggh posted onGitHub
I think previewing the gif in the same screen where I tweak the conversion settings is a superior user experience compared to going back and forth between the settings-view and the save-view. Especially, since there is already a video player present in the settings-view.
For example, there could be a button <kbd>Render preview</kbd> or a toggle: <kbd>Original</kbd> - <kbd>Preview</kbd>
If you select <kbd>Preview</kbd>, the original video would be replaced with the gif and a progress indicator, that would let me know whenever gifski is busy converting a new preview. Tweaking the settings would start the preview conversion from scratch.
This would make it effortless to tweak the quality and framerate settings.
Another idea to speed up the preview process: how about rendering just the first frame of the gif with the settings applied? That should be plenty fast, and you would get some perspective into what the final result will look like, given the resolution and quality. Maybe even let the user scrub-select frames and render them as needed?
