Describe the feature you’d like
Some kind of separation of short-form videos (gifs, or less than 1 min videos) that are stored as Images as a new category/type in stash?
Two options that immediately come to mind:
- Keep short videos in the “Images” section, but natively categorize them separately so you can more easily filter them out.
- Create a separate type of video, so there’s “Scenes” and “Clips”
- This auto-detects video clips under a specific length you define OR
- Is auto-separated out from the Images libraries due to media type/extension
Describe the benefits this would bring to existing users
There are a lot of creators out there making very short form clips, as well as clipped versions of scenes (previously referred to as “gifs”, but most of the time is just short-form mp4 h264 stuff nowadays). Being able to differentiate them in your library from “Images” or “Scenes” would make organization, filtering, and viewing a separately tuned experience.
This could be an optional feature someone could turn on and otherwise you just get “Scenes” and “Images”. Turning on “Clips” would do one of the two features options (or both) to make them show up.
Is there an existing way to achieve this goal?
Right now they are inter-mixed with “Images”. They play natively using browser controls/volume, etc. This technically works as a short-form organization and viewing tool, but a first-class citizen feature might be helpful that respects current player volume settings, etc.
Additional context
This could be built in part with the marker system that already exists. Markers that are set as “clips” (or have a short time span specified) would surface in the “Clips” section where markers that are set as “scene” would be moved into the “Scene” section (I think there’s already a bounty out for this second part).
