## Configuration
If you were paying attention to Dragoon's output, you would have noticed that it failed with a complaint about not finding a configuration file. The location might move in the future or even be configurable, but for now you need to have a TOML file located at `~/.config/dragoon.toml` with at minimum the following contents:
```toml
# This example transcodes footage to DNxHD 1080p60 for use in video editors like DaVinci Resolve.
[transcoder]
repo_path = '~/videos' # location of the videos to transcode
interval = 15 # number of minutes in between transcoding runs
video_format = 'mov' # video container format
video_codec = 'dnxhd' # video codec to use
video_parameters = 'scale=1920x1080,fps=60,format=yuv422p' # video extra format parameters flag - this will be broken later into separate attributes
video_profile = 'dnxhr_hq' # DNxHD has multiple presets for various video qualities
audio_codec = 'pcm_s16le' # audio codec to use
```
You can also run `./dragoon.jar -i` to install a new configuration file with some "workable" defaults. You can pair this with the `-c /path/to/config.toml` flag to specify a location to put the config file.
## CLI Parameters
Dragoon's CLI features some flags to help you get moving:
`-h` - prints the help message.
`-c /path/to/config.toml` - specify a path to a configuration file.
`-i` - install a new configuration file.
