I compared @Jake Van Clief ’s animation workflow with a Short I made called “The Box Nobody Wanted to Open.” Jake’s saved system uses Canvas/JavaScript, Python, Playwright and FFmpeg. My Box was built with Python/Pillow, NumPy and FFmpeg. Both use a timed plan and export checks, but I haven’t found evidence that the Box ran through Jake’s engine. The useful discovery: my “preflight” checked a short clip only after the entire video had rendered. Next time I want to render and inspect a short section first, then commit to the full render. Simple change, potentially less wasted time. I’m learning that the point isn’t necessarily to replace one workflow with another. Sometimes it’s to understand what each does and borrow the part that makes the work better. For those making videos with code, what do you check before committing to a full render? @Danney Tee
