Consider different input method for image sequences #386

Hey there,
first of all thanks for all the great work on shutter encoder. Love it and use it all the time.

To my request / question:

Have you considered using

ffmpeg -f image2 -framerate 24 start_number 100 -i input_%04d.dpx -c:v prores -profile:v 2 -pix_fmt yuv422p10le output.mov

as the input method for image sequences instead of your approach with the text file?

The reason being, it is a lot faster that way. I just used the above command to convert a sequence of 1000 16bit DPX files to prores via ffmpeg command line and it took about 1min 12sec.

Doing the same conversion in shutter encoder took about 2min 50sec. So I guess there's quite some I/O overhead to the method with the textfile.

It would also be great if the image sequence would be displayed as "image_sequence.dpx[firstframe-lastframe]" in the file list, instead of individual files (like Davinci Resolve does it basically). This way we could have multiple sequences imported without clogging the file list with thousands of files.

Another nice feature would be if we could select between the normal prores and the prores_ks encoder for the non-4444 flavors.

That's it. Keep up the good work!

Cheers!
