Accessing the Frame parameter on a Graphic Layer

Postby luciepix » Tue Jun 09, 2015 6:15 pm

I am trying to select a particular frame of an image sequence from PBAutomation.

I can use the parameter within Pandoras Box, but the parameter is not listed in the SDK documentation:
http://www.coolux.de/root/downloads/sup ... r_list.htm

I tried accessing the Frame parameter using the generic AutoSetParam(...) function but it does not work.

Can you please tell me how I can change the frame number of an image sequence from outside Pandoras Box?

Thank you.

By the way, calling AutoSetParamRelative with the parameter name "Frame" returns true as if there was no error, but the value is not applied on the layer.

The Inpoint param is only available on a video layer from my understanding.

I found a workaround by passing through WD using Artnet. I patched the Frame param to an Artnet channel. My PBAutomation application sends a TCP command to the WD, and the WD takes care of updating the Artnet channel.

Not really a straightforward solution, but it does the job for now. If there is a better solution, let me know!

Thanks!

Awesome!!!
The Inpoint param acts as the Frame param for a Graphic Layer.

Sorry, I did not understand what you meant at first... now I do! :)

Thank you!
