Kap: Provide visual warning for slow exports, such as a time estimate or warning label

Created on 25 Mar 2018 · 6Comments · Source: wulkano/Kap

Split off from https://github.com/wulkano/kap/issues/429

Steps to reproduce

Record long 30min video and attempt WebM export

Problems

When progress is very slow the near empty progress indicator doesn't help estimate how long an export will take
It is hard to tell if an export will take 20 mins or 20 hours
It is hard to decide if it is worth cancelling the export to try a different approach

Feature proposals

A. When export will be slow, show a time estimate for the download

B. When export will be slow, show a warning that the export will be slow

@matheuss Would it be possible to parse ffmpeg's output or pass in a progress option to determine how many frames or seconds of video have been processed?

Edit: There is a progress bar already, of course! Could we just calculate the start time, percentage complete and use the two to provide an extrapolation?

Alternatively could we have a cut off where we show a warning if sending more than X mins of video to ffmpeg?

We should provide a time estimate (A).
