Suggestion for:Movie upload section. (Additional tags)

[FadeToBlack]

I did have some suggestions, hope it's not asking for too much.


I just thought there could be optional upload attributes so users can edit extra information into tags prior to uploading their 3dmm movie:
1.The number of scenes(Green Timeline) as shown in the 3dmm file in the software.
2.The number of frames(Blue Timeline)
3.The actual running time of the 3dmm movie.(Retrieved on Youtube).

These attributes can help improve the sorting and filtering of 3D movies to help distinguish shorts, decent length movies and finally the masterpiece in-depth motion picture films.

these would be neat, but knowing this community it would also start a huge effort to edit thousands of movies to have scene info

[FadeToBlack]

Yeah, that could keep the scene alive by speeding accessibility and sorting.

There would be optional entries they could fill in,
3Dmm name
Description

Optional Data(they don't have to enter this to upload a movie):
Frames
Scenes
Duration

not to mention a lot of it would be left up to super mods because 90% of directors aren't in the community anymore.

In the movie upload section, when the user uploads the .3mm file:
Have a php hex editor read and extract the raw binary data to calculate the movie length from the total number of frames, collecting scene count also.

3D Movie Maker runs at 15 frames per second (fps), not 60.


Total frames in entire film / 15 = Length( in seconds)

Total frames in entire film / 60 = Length( in minutes)
