+# ProjBotV3
+
+Projector Bot V3, written in rust this time.
+
+[V2](https://github.com/tudbut/projectorbotv2_full)
+
+### Useful commands
+
+So far, V3 isn't fully automatically converting the images. Either use V2 for that, or run
+these commands and figure out a way to merge multiple pngs to a gif.
+
+```
+ffmpeg -i vid.mp4 -vf fps=fps=30 -deadline realtime vid_30fps.mp4
+ffmpeg -i vid_30fps.mp4 -vf scale=240:180,setsar=1:1 -deadline realtime vid/%0d.png
+# at this point a merger for multiple pngs to a gif is needed
+ffmpeg -i vid.mp4 -deadline realtime aud.opus && mv aud.opus aud_encoded
+```
