automatic PNG export

[Mads Juul]

But I can't seem to check if there's an outpoint available, what am I doing wrong? Somehow this 'CMP(OutState, set)' doesn't do anything.

I just remebered tv_markIn and tv_markOut falsely returns a whitespace in end of state
so uou should CMP with "set " insead of "set"

Code: Select all

tv_markOut 
PARSE result frame type
tv_warn "#"type"#"
IF CMP(type,"set ")==1
tv_warn "Mark Out is Set"
ELSE
	tv_warn "Mark Out is Clear"
END

... It took me some time to figure out last

This means you cannot render out you project TIFF in another size than you camera.
I mean if you have a camera wich is 1024X576 you cannot render it out in 1920X1080
Would you like to do this?
-Mads

No, it's fine like this. I'll just make sure my camera is always set to 1920*1080

... It took me some time to figure out last

Thanks again!

Glad I Can help

I use this button to check if there's a proper clip name, in/out point and if the camera settings are like I need them (1920*1080 25fps) before I run your script.

I hope I can get it to run automatically on the server and have another script convert the sequence to high+low quality .mov files.

Code: Select all

tv_markIn
PARSE result frame type
IF CMP(type,"set ")
INPOINT = "OK"
ELSE
INPOINT = "NOT SET!"

END

tv_markOut
PARSE result frame type
IF CMP(type,"set ")
OUTPOINT = "OK"
ELSE
OUTPOINT = "NOT SET!"
END


// NAME START
tv_clipname
oldclipname = result
IF CMP(oldclipname, Untitled)
tv_ReqString "Please rename clip|Sc1_shot_01"
newclipname = result
IF CMP (newclipname, Cancel)
newclipname = oldclipname
END
tv_clipname ClipID newclipname
END
tv_clipname
CLIPNAME = result
// NAME END

// CAMERA START
tv_CameraInfo 
PARSE result CAMWIDTH CAMHEIGTH filedmode CAMFRAMERATE aspectratio blur
CAMSETTINGS = "WRONG!"
IF CMP(CAMWIDTH, 1920)
IF CMP(CAMHEIGTH, 1080)
IF CMP(CAMFRAMERATE, 25)
CAMSETTINGS = "OK"
END
END
END
// CAMERA END

// POPUP START
tv_warn '"'CLIPNAME'"' '\n' CAMWIDTH"*"CAMHEIGTH '('CAMFRAMERATE "FPS"')' '\n' '\n' "Camera is" CAMSETTINGS '\n' "In Point is" INPOINT '\n' "Out Point is" OUTPOINT
// POPUP END

not sure if this is usefull to anyone else, but I thought I'd post it just in case.

I can't seem to figure this out, so I'm back to this old thread

Is it possible to go up in the directory and then save in a different directory?
Because we usually have my workfiles in a 'Shots' folder and have my render files in a 'Renders' folder.

Example:

Export this file...

Data/Projects/Filmname/Shots/001_Intro/001_Intro_v007_L.tvp

(clipname = 001)

To here...

Data/Projects/Filmname/Renders/001/001_00001.tif
Data/Projects/Filmname/Renders/001/001_00002.tif
Data/Projects/Filmname/Renders/001/001_00003.tif

it is possible.

So you are asking to get a new savepath relative to where the current TVP project is saved?
I have put some of function online. Where I get the Parent directory from the current Project look here
http://wiki.tvpaint.fr/index.php?title= ... rent.28.29

Please notice if these function is going to work you need to include the basic and advanced George functions found here

http://wiki.tvpaint.fr/index.php?title= ... :_Advanced

Thanks Mads,

But how do I use a 'function'? I can't find any documentation about it. I'm reading some stuff about an 'include george file', but I really have no idea how to use it.

EDIT:
After looking at some of your old posts I'm using this:

Code: Select all

tv_GetProjectName
projectpath = result
tv_clipname
clipName = result

	projectpath = Replace(projectpath,'\','/')
	strlen = LEN(projectpath)
	last = LastPos(projectpath,"/")
	projectdir = LeftString(projectpath,last-1)
	last = LastPos(projectdir,"/")
	projectdir = LeftString(projectpath,last-1)
	last = LastPos(projectdir,"/")
	projectdir = LeftString(projectpath,last-1)
	projectname = RightString(projectpath,strlen-last)
	strlen = LEN(projectname)
	last = LastPos(projectname,".")
	IF CMP(last,"0")==1
		projectbase = projectname
	ELSE
		projectbase = LeftString(projectname,last-2)
	END
	saveDir = projectdir"/Renders/"clipName

Allthough I don't really understand everything I'm doing, at least it's working! Thanks

But since this code is working You must have included the Basic and advanced George Procedures
because for instance the function Replace(projectpath,'\','/')
is not working unless you have included it into your script
Am I right?

[Lukas]

Ah yes! I get it now

You are correct!
