When selecting an audio only render profile, the "Video" checkbox and all the video settings are greyed out, so it should be clearer now |
Created attachment 182127 [details] "Audio only" renders happily a Video clip SUMMARY Don't let rendering processes start that have unclear outcomes set. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set an output format auf .ac3 2. Activate Video in the rendering applet 3. Start rendering OBSERVED RESULT The audio is being rendered as foo.ac3 EXPECTED RESULT Before rendering starts, a consistency check asks the user if he *really* wanted to render a clip with video and audio into a pure audio file. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is between minor and wishlist. I still set it to minor, because it is inconsistent. The user doesn't necessarily have to be aware of all any any formats, and choices, to avoid this. When "Video" is activated, the "Audio only" at least could be grayed out, or a pop-up asking for confirmation. One may as well play a number of instances on this. "Separate audio files" also goes through with a single audio file in the time line. before the user waits a few hours to find out his error, we might help him to correct his settings in the render applet, I think.
