Export EDL CMX3600: work in Progress
Posted: 05 Mar 2009, 13:06
Hey All
Im using TVPaint And Adobe Premiere To make My Storyboards and Animatic
I wanted to make a way to get my drawings from TVpaint to Premiere and still keep the timing so I found out that I could write a
EDL file Premier uses the CMX3600 Syntax so I have tried to mimic that
.
The script Works the following way.
-You select the layer with the storyboard drawings
-You have saved your Project
-In the Folder where the Project is saved the script creates a folder called "TGA" and save every instance on the current layer as a TGA file
-In the Folder where the Project is saved the script creates a EDL file with the same name as the tvpaint project
Because I havnt access to information about sound Im not capable to get the sound editing iformation inm y EDL.
but maybe in future releases of tvpaint that will be possible?
once thing is not acting as i have expected it seem like the tv_writetextfile trims the string for white spaces!!
I think that white spaces are importent for the syntax of EDL. But I have succeded in importing onto Premiere anyway
The way it SHOULd look
The Way it looks
Is it possible to keep more that one white space?
hope it will be usefull for some?
