options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-v, --version show program's version number and exit
--source SOURCE Path to source file
--encode ENCODE Path to encode file
--frames FRAMES Only use this if you want to specify the frames to generate, this disables sync frames
--image-dir IMAGE_DIR
Path to base image folder
--indexer {lsmash,ffms2}
Indexer choice
--img-lib {imwri,fpng}
Image library to use
--source-index-path SOURCE_INDEX_PATH
Path to look/create indexes for source
--encode-index-path ENCODE_INDEX_PATH
Path to look/create indexes for encode
--sub-size SUB_SIZE Size of subtitles
--sub-alignment SUB_ALIGNMENT
Alignment of subtitles (.ass)
--left-crop LEFT_CROP
Left crop
--right-crop RIGHT_CROP
Right crop
--top-crop TOP_CROP Top crop
--bottom-crop BOTTOM_CROP
crop
--adv-resize-left ADV_RESIZE_LEFT
Advanced resize left
--adv-resize-right ADV_RESIZE_RIGHT
Advanced resize right
--adv-resize-top ADV_RESIZE_TOP
Advanced resize top
--adv-resize-bottom ADV_RESIZE_BOTTOM
Advanced resize bottom
--tone-map HDR tone-mapping
--re-sync RE_SYNC Sync offset for image generation in frames (i.e. --re-sync=-3)
--comparison-count COMPARISON_COUNT
Amount of comparisons to generate
--subtitle-color SUBTITLE_COLOR
Hex color code for subtitle color (i.e. --subtitle-color "#fff000")
--release-sub-title RELEASE_SUB_TITLE
Release group subtitle name (this will show on the encode images)
Windows 8 and up (x64). Technically could support Linux/MacOS but binaries will only be compiled for Windows for now.
You will need lsmash, ffms2, libfpng, libimwri, and SubText vapoursynth plugins. For windows I have compiled an executable with the needed runtime libraries.
FrameForge.exe --source "path/Ant-Man.2015.mkv" --encode "path/Ant-Man.2015.Encoded.mkv" --sub-size 12 --indexer lsmash --top-crop 22 --bottom-crop 22 --subtitle-color #00FF00
