Difference between DuBlast and the native Viewport Render Animation command

DuBlast	Viewport Render Animation
Automatically plays the rendered animation	Needs the user to manually play the animation [Ctrl] + [F11]
Has its own output settings, so the user can create playblasts without altering the output settings of the scene	Shares the output settings with the scene/render settings, which means the user has to alter the output settings even if they're already set for rendering the scene
Has custom output format presets for better animation playback and seek	Needs the user to manually set the output to an animator friendly format
Scales down the size of the text for the metadata according to the resolution %	Keeps the same size for the text of the metadata, no matter the output resolution, which results in huge texts at lower resolution
Atomatically adjusts the rendered animation dimension to fit the MP4 requirements when set to use MP4	The user has to find a fitting resolution % for the dimensions to have an even number of lines and columns
