Writing frames with different numbering

[noire...@gmail.com]

Is it possible to do something like read frames 0-100, then write frames 50-100 in a subfolder using sam do?

It's possible to do it with sam cp and sam mv with --output-first I believe, but I can't find this for sam do.

The reason I can't just use mv or cp is because there are nodes that will need to go inbetween the read and write nodes.

Thank you.

Sorry, meant to say it will write frames 50-150.

Hi,

This is not an option of sam-do, but there is a node to do that: timeshift. For sam-do, it's a just retime node.

sam do r input-###.png // timeshift 50 // w output-###.png

This allows you to choose where you want to modify the time into the graph. For example, if you write the time on the image:

sam do r input-###.png // timeshift 50 // text text="str(tuttleArgs().time)" expression=1 // w output-###.png

It will write 60 on the "output-060.png" image.

And if you put the timeshift at the end, it will write the source time:

sam do r input-###.png // text text="str(tuttleArgs().time)" expression=1 // timeshift 50 // w output-###.png

It will write 10 on the "output-060.png" image.

Regards,

Fabien

Thank you for your quick reply. I tried it and it works as I hoped.

I also have a similar follow-up question. Is it also possible to read in an image and stretch that into a sequence of 50 of all the same frames?

Hello !

Yes, you can totally do that :

sam do r imageIn.ext // w seq###.ext // --range 0,50

Hm, not sure if I did something wrong, but when I tried it out it gets stuck after the read. I see:

>-- imageIn.ext

_

And the cursor sits under it blinking.

I guess it just didn't like the png file I was testing with. I tried again with a tif file and it worked. I appreciate the help!

Hello !

If you're using Windows 7 build, there's indeed some problems with png and exr.

I have to debug some things here.

Thanks for your feedbacks, they are importants for the project.

Cheers,

Marie
