clip index

[kevco...@gmail.com]

Hey guys,

Given a clip selected in the trax editor, I can easily get the character, and the clip scheduler, but I'm having trouble getting the clipIndex, so that I can then get the track the clip is on, and do things to that track like mute, solo, etc. I feel like I've tried every combination of flags.

These work for me:

# select a clip in trax
animClip = pm.selected()[0]
character = pm.PyNode( pm.clip( animClip, query=True, character=True )[0] )
scheduler = character.getClipScheduler()

# Solos a track
pm.clipSchedule( scheduler, edit=True, track=2, solo=True )

# prints what track the clipindex is on
print pm.clipSchedule( scheduler, query=True, track=True, clipIndex=3 )

but if I try to query the clipIndex with the name arg. I'm getting the first instance of my clip. not the index of the clips name going into the arg. what am I doing wrong here? how do I easily just get the clipIndex of a selected clip in trax?

print pm.clipSchedule( scheduler, query=True, name=animClip, clipIndex=True )

Thanks
Kev

Bah, this was just easier with open maya... :\

import maya.OpenMaya as om
import maya.OpenMayaAnim as oma
import pymel.core as pm

# select a clip in trax
animClip = pm.selected()[0]

mSel = om.MSelectionList()
mSel.add( animClip.name() )

mAnimClip = om.MObject()
mSel.getDependNode( 0, mAnimClip )

mFnAnimClip = oma.MFnClip( mAnimClip )

print mFnAnimClip.getTrack()
