# Naming Mode

In the Naming Mode feature, you have the ability to designate your preferred Marker IDs and establish a distinctive nomenclature for image file names. By Default , the Marker Data function adopts the Marker's Timeline and Timecode as its primary Marker ID. To illustrate, if the timeline were denoted as Demo V1, the Marker ID generated by Marker Data would be Demo_V1_Timecode. This identifier is then employed for the corresponding image file name.

Alternatively, you can opt for Name or Notes as your preferred Marker ID, catering to diverse workflow requirements. Such choices are particularly advantageous for the creation of a Visual Effects (VFX) Database, as outlined in more detail here. In the cases of Name and Notes, it is advisable to input unique text values to ensure distinctiveness. In instances where text values are identical, Marker Data autonomously appends a numerical suffix to the filename for differentiation.

Select your desired Naming Mode.

• Timeline and Timecode Default
• Name
• Notes

# Marker Source

Select your desired Marker Source.

• Marker Default
• Marker and Captions
• Caption

# Image Format

By Default , the Marker Data application undertakes the extraction and exportation of image data in the PNG format, preserving still frames. You have the flexibility to opt for either the JPG format or, alternatively, animated GIFs in the export process.

Select your desired Image Format.

• PNG Default
• JPG
• GIF

# Image Size

# Default

In the majority of workflows, the Default parameter would be sufficient. You have the ability to customise your image dimensions to a greater extent by opting for either the Size parameter or specifying the Width & Height values.

# Size (%)

The Default Configuration assigns a size percentage of 100 to both the PNG and JPG Image Formats. Conversely, for the GIF format, the Default size percentage is established at 50.

To illustrate, in the scenario where the original exported video file possesses dimensions of 1920 x 1080, adjusting the Size (%) parameter to 50 would yield extracted images with dimensions reduced to 960 x 540.

# Width

By Default , the width selection feature is deactivated in Marker Data, with the application automatically adopting the precise dimensions from the exported video file. Activating this option allows you to manually constrain the image width while preserving its inherent aspect ratio.

# Height

By Default , the height selection feature is deactivated in Marker Data, with the application automatically adopting the precise dimensions from the exported video file. Activating this option allows you to manually constrain the image height while preserving its inherent aspect ratio.

# JPG

# Quality

You have the flexibility to designate distinct Quality values for the JPG Image Format, with lower values resulting in reduced file sizes. Notably, the Quality setting is initially inaccessible, appearing greyed out by Default , and exclusively applicable to the JPG format. The Default setting for Quality is established at 100.

# GIF

# FPS

The Frames per Second (FPS) parameter is initially disabled by Default , appearing greyed out. This functionality is exclusively applicable to the GIF Image Format, with a Default value set at 10.

# Span (Sec)

The Size (%) parameter is initially disabled, displaying in a greyed out state by Default . This option is exclusive to the GIF Image Format, with the Default value pre-set at 2.

# Swatch

# Enable Swatch

Enable the checkbox to embed colour Swatch Palette into extracted images.

# Algorithm

Select your desired Swatch Algorithm.

Euclidean algorithm calculates difference in RGB colour space.

CIE76 algorithm calculates difference in Lab colour space

CIE94 algorithm is an improvement of CIE76, it calculates the difference in the Lab colour space. Slightly slower than CIE76.

CIEDE2000 algorithm is the most accurate colour comparison algorithm in the Lab colour space. It is significantly slower than its predecessors.

CMC algorithm calculates the difference in the HCL (Hue, Chroma, Luminance) colour space.

# Accuracy

Select your desired Accuracy.

• Low
• Fair
• High Default
• Best

Adjusting the Accuracy setting impacts the swatch analysis during image extraction. Selecting Low accelerates the analysis process, albeit at the cost of precision. Conversely, opting for Best ensures a higher degree of accuracy, though this choice extends the processing time required for image extraction.

# Exclude Black

Enable the checkbox to ignore Black from Swatch.

# Exclude Grey

Enable the checkbox to ignore Grey from Swatch.

# Exclude White

Enable the checkbox to ignore White from Swatch.
