# Flipnote-Encoder
The Cross-Platform Flipnote Encoder and Signer written in .NET
built with [PPMLib](https://github.com/miso-xyz/PPMLib)
uses binaries from [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org) for video manipulation.

# Quickstart
* download and unzip the latest [release](https://github.com/RinLovesYou/Flipnote-Encoder/releases)
* place the video called `input.mp4` in the `frames` folder, make sure no other files exist there
* Replace the Dummy Flipnote with one of your own. This will embed your User Information
* (Optional) place the Flipnote Studio Private Key (good luck getting that one) called `fnkey.pem` in the same folder as the exe

# Cross-Platform Information
Here are the ways you can run the Flipnote Encoder:
* Windows: Just double click the .exe
* Linux: `./FlipnoteEncoder` in a terminal, or double click the .sh script
* OSX: `./FlipnoteEncoder` in a terminal I'd assume.
# config.json
Located inside the Root folder is a config.json. Should it not exist, a new one will be created by the program.
Here you can see all the config Items with a description of how to use them:
* "DitheringMode": 1, - refer to [wiki](https://github.com/RinLovesYou/Flipnote-Encoder/wiki/Dithering-Modes)
* "ColorMode": 1, - refer to [wiki](https://github.com/RinLovesYou/Flipnote-Encoder/wiki/Color-Modes)
* "Accurate": true, - Wether to force 30FPS or not. Fixes audio sync.
* "Contrast": 0, - How much contrast to add
* "InputFolder": "frames",
* "InputFilename": "input.mp4",
* "Split": false, - Wether or not to split the resulting Flipnote.
* "SplitAmount": 2, - Unused at the moment. Encoder automatically tries to pick the best split amount
* "DeleteOnFinish": true - I don't even think i added a case for this. Why wouldn't you want this? Deletes all temp frames.
Expect bugs and report them in the [issues](https://github.com/RinLovesYou/Flipnote-Encoder/issues) section please.
it won't sign a flipnote if no `fnkey.pem` exists, you can still play it back with most online players like [rakujira](https://flipnote.rakujira.jp) though.

I am not responsible for how this tool is used. It is against Sudomemo TOS to upload encoded flipnotes there.
