Start end frame on camera that changes playback range

[mikhail...@berkeley.edu]

Hey there,

What I want to do is to have a script that adds custom "start frame" and "end frame" attributes to cameras. As the user sets these, and is looking through that camera, the playback range changes down there on the timeline to whatever the start frame and end frame attributes are set to. As the user changes cameras, the playback range is updated to whatever the start and end frame on that camera is.

Now I've done this via script jobs. However, they seem pretty clunky. Is there a better way to do this?

If you already have this working via scriptJobs then you might just stick with it. You could convert to using the API via the MMessage classes. But these are just equivalents to the higher level scriptJob. Sometimes they have some more granular options.
