Foolcat allows for a lot of customization of your Reports. Add a logo and other project information in the
Report Preferences pane:
By default, Foolcat creates 3 thumbnails per clip; for the first, middle, and last frame. This amount can be changed in
Preferences > Settings.Don't want any thumbnails? Set it to 0.
The default location Foolcat saves Reports into is your Documents folder. You can also save an extra Report on the Source, which will be saved into the root of the folder or drive you set as a Source in Foolcat. Make sure that your source has write permissions for this setting to work properly; some camera cards are set to read-only.
By default, Foolcat creates a folder for each report containing the HTML, thumbnails, and PDF. Alternatively, you can choose to automatically group the PDFs in a separate folder than the HTML report.
