Re: Render Region and Autosave

Hi, Just to share a simple script (gave it another go) that toggles Off and On the Autosave pref (if originally On), fired by an "onBeginFrame" event, which essentially restarts the set Autosave counter when a region is drawn. Initially, perhaps due to something I was missing (or a bug?) runn

Re: "Saving Environments" taking a long time on save

Thanks, Henry -- I may try that. In the meantime, I discovered that the scene save was timing out while trying to access a server that the SI project at the remote site is on, which was odd because I had gotten rid of all file references to it and all the paths in the scene are relative in any cas

Thanks Tom. Nice link. Now it makes sense. Here is a link that lists all the frame rates for HD: http://blog.abelcine.com/2009/12/23/hdformats-frequencys-and-frame-rates-for-producers/ Go down to the section on Frame Rates. So, in HD, you still need to know what country your video will be broadca

Ed, If you are on a linux environment, you can issue an strace command on the softimage process id before you invoke the save and compare the output of both installs. On windows, this is somewhat more of a challenge, but there are tools to trace this as well and this vendor's tools do just

"Saving Environments" taking a long time on save

I have 2 nearly identical installs of Softimage, in different locations, with synced and mirrored databases. In one location, everything is normal, and save operations are quick. In the other, identical scenes, with mirrored paths, save quickly, except during the "saving environments" phase, when

Somebody smarter than me tried to explain to me that it was tied into 50hz electric system vs 60hz in the US (hence the 25/30 split) but I'll admit it went a bit over my head and I never bothered finding out more as I was never directly involved with final output. http://electronics.stackexchange.

So true. I sometimes forget about the rest of the world. Not very global of me. Good question, about how HD has effected frame rates. And also 4K. I will have to research that. On Fri, Mar 11, 2016, 4:48 AM Tom Kleinenberg wrote: > That's NTSC. This side of the Atlantic, PAL is 25. Film is 24FP

That's NTSC. This side of the Atlantic, PAL is 25. Film is 24FPS. My experience since college is film, so I've been working 24FPS and I'm not actually sure what HD has done to frame rates. On 11 March 2016 at 06:19, Stephen Davidson wrote: > Actually, TV is 30 fps., or more accurately 29.97 f
