HandBrake settings for later Gfolio slideshows

 

I'm converting some videos so they'll render in Gfolio. But I've found I might have to convert some images later too, using a different converter

First, convert all my videos:

  1. Go into Advanced and under File Handling, check the box for Recursively scan directories when using the folder scan mode.
  2. Also in Advanced under File Handling, make sure my usual images are being excluded. Be sure to add any to that list that aren't there so they're all excluded: tif, jpg,jpeg,png,gif,bmp,webp,heic,heif,avif,dng,cr2,cr3,nef,arw,orf,raf,sr2,tga,pcx,ppm
  3. In Output Files, in Default Path, use {source_path} 
  4. Test everything in Gfolio after converting to make sure all videos are rendering
  5. It looks like I don't need to open Handbrake with admin

Here's two screenshots (see below) of the advanced settings; however, the setting for excluded filetypes is scrollable, so you won't see them all here.
 

Then, see if any images won't render:

After I'm done with all video conversions, I can see if any of my images won't render in Gfolio. If that is a problem, then use XnConvert to convert those images.
