Description Manga Tengu 2021-04-11 11:29:35 UTC

It would be nice if the recorder could export to the desired format. For now, it only records jpegs which introduce quality loss.

In my case since calling ffmpeg from krita to export is bugging (loads indefinitely), I use these jpegs to call ffmpeg by hand. I would like to try it with pngs for image quality's sake.

Krita Version: 5.0.0-prealpha (git 1222798), Qt version compiled: 5.12.10, loaded: 5.12.10

copy-pasting this in:

The recorder docker uses jpeg because that's the image type that dmitry utkin found to be the fastest to save, however, the docker uses qimage, and I am wondering if we could speed it up with using the kispaintdevice, etc. and then save to png, as our png writer is unusually fast (at the least, according to dmitryK and halla).
