is it possible to access {sequence_name} or {job_author} inside of the ffmpeg command ? would love to add them with the drawtext command

I just saw the notification for this comment. In the vanilla version of the engine you can use anything listed under the {format_strings} examples in the Output section of the MRQ config.

:pray:


Hello I have this error, can you help me fix it. Thanks!

I don’t know. Looks like it has an issue with “?f”. Can you post your command line?

Have you ever found a Solution for that Error ? I have the same after updated to 5.3 but i think thats not the Reason.

I am not sure its incorrect. How are you trying to set the frames? Do you have the correct syntax?
