Encoding panel feature request: current timecode and FPS

The "Encoding" panel shows Elapsed time and Remaining time, which is very helpful.  But there is extra dead space in that area which could be put to use to show additional information.  In particular:

  • "Current Timecode" - sometimes I spot an error (such as Missing Media) during an export, or experience a hang or crash, and having the exact timecode displayed on the screen would help with quickly finding & fixing root problems.
  • "Current FPS" - the rendering speed averaged over, say, the last 5 seconds.
  • "Avg. FPS" - the rendering speed averaged over the encoding process thus far.

 

This kind of data would also help with finding slow-rendering shots so they can be investigated for ways to optimize the editing/compositing to improve future render times.
