Hi all - just looking for a clean way to pipe timecode through to my slate.
the dpx timecode starts on frame 1, so when doing a slate on frame 0 the
post house is expecting the timecode to decrease by 1 but at the moment
it's just passing through the same code from frame 1. they aren't liking
that too much.
looking at the metadata, it appears that dpx/time_code is the frame number
version of the timecode -- as in 86400
and then input/timecode is the time display. as in 01:00:00:00
I can get the dpx/time_code to drop by one easily in modifyMetaData -
[python \{nuke.thisNode().metadata()\['dpx/time_code']-1\}]
but the input/timecode is harder because it's a string.
we're going down the path of splitting that string out and decreasing the
frames display by 1 and accounting for the rollover from 23 to 00.
I guess ideally I'd just convert the dpx/time_code frames display that I've
already decreased back into timecode - anyone know the formula for that or
have a cleaner way to do this?
much thanks
-J
