--import-clip <path> |

--name <name> |
Give the clip a library name on import |
--description <descr> --clip-description <descr> |
Give the clip a library description on import |
--import-clip <path>
The following command imports a clip from the specified path into the library of project "PROJ1":
Command : |
$ film_master --project PROJ1 --import-clip \ M:\images\train\300001.dpx INFO Opening project "PROJ1". INFO Found range (300000, 300164). |
The clip imported above will be given a default name in this case because the filename is numeric only.
The default name will be taken from the two containing directories i.e. "images train". See below.
Command : |
$ film_master --project PROJ1 \ --import-clip Z:\shots\056\056_001.001.dpx INFO Opening project "PROJ1". INFO Found range (1, 15). |
The clip will be given a name taken from the filename, i.e. "056_001". See below.
|
This command only imports one clip. To import multiple clips, see Importing Folders. |
|
If you perform the same import operation twice, the clip will be imported again. This differs from previous behaviour that expected the option --force-import to be used (this option has been removed). |
Specifying a Clip Name on Import
--name <name>
To specify a clip name in the library on import, use the --name option.
Command : |
$ film_master --project PROJ1 \ --import-clip Z:\shots\002\shot1002.001.dpx \ --name "clip name" INFO Opening project "PROJ1". INFO Found range (1, 99). INFO Set clip name to "clip name". |
|
You can only set the name of an imported clip when you import it, not afterwards. |
Clip Naming Convention
Unless specified with the --name option, the imported clip is named as per the settings in the application preferences Auto Assign Name.
Specifying a Clip Description on Import--description <description>
To specify a clip description in the library on import, use the --description option.
Command : |
$ film_master --project PROJ1 --import-clip \ Z:\shots\1002\shot1002.001.dpx \ --description "clip desc" INFO Opening project "PROJ1". INFO Found range (1, 99). INFO Set clip description to "clip desc". |
|
The description can only be set on import, not afterwards. |
