Re: Covermakers Chat Thread

Wow that cover is beautiful but I do not want you to do any additional effort for the sake of the YouTube channel. I just want to make the best out of what is already available. I am actually very how things are right now and my contribution here is only to make your cover justice by sing the best a...

Re: Covermakers Chat Thread

I don't fully understand this Some PDF's have the text as overlay over the image making the image extract lose that information. To make a rule that I think consistently creates a good cover candidate I have done the following: But I suspect it may be just a difference use of the words I don't reme...

Re: Covermakers Chat Thread

Ok so I spent some time with the PDF image extraction and after experimenting with about 1000 different PDF's I have made several important observations to help me use them in the cover process. Images from PDF have a kind of sizes and contains multiple images in many cases. Some PDF's has the text ...

Re: Covermakers Chat Thread

By thumbnails I suppose you mean the rectangle Youtube generates to display its videos, not the 150 x 150 thumbnails we produce for use in our catalog list. Looks good. My only question is how will you get the 600 x 600 image if we don't upload ours somewhere? Yes, Youtube allows a 1280x720 image t...

Re: Covermakers Chat Thread

Just to be sure: Your tools would check if the provided file (_itemimage) fits the necessary pixels and/or ratio and if not, use the image to scale it up to 1080 x 1080 px (or 720 x 720 px, as many thumbs aren't HD)? So if there would be an uploaded image in 16:9 ratio with at least 720 px in heigh...

Re: Covermakers Chat Thread

I have tired these tools already and it does not work. Many extracts includes parts outside the cover or splits into multiple images. Sometime its rotated. As the PDF files are not following the strict format it cannot be use reliably. I use them to find the cover artist but this is again a best eff...

Re: Covermakers Chat Thread

Regarding YouTube I have update the uploading to search for itemimage file and use it if available. So the script now basically finds the 300p cover link and will check if a file with "_itemimage" exists and use it. So it the cover is called example.jpg it will look for example_itemimage.j...
