ViewRange and WorkingRange Question for Sequencer

[cghub-io]

Hi,

thanks so much first of all for all the great examples. I managed to use all of it so far to create custom GEO, TEXTURE and CAMERA importer.
With the camera importer I am stuck at one little thing.

I need to set the sequencer timeline viewRange and workingRange to reflect this camera properties:
frameStart = 1001
frameEnd = 1100

With print statement I get following properties:

print seq.MovieScene.EditorData.properties()
[u'ExpansionStates', u'ViewStart', u'ViewEnd', u'WorkStart', u'WorkEnd', u'WorkingRange', u'ViewRange']

seq.MovieScene.EditorData.ViewStart = 1001
# ValueError: invalid value for UProperty

from unreal_engine.structs import FloatRange
seq.MovieScene.EditorData.WorkingRange = FloatRange(1001/24, 1100/24)
# no error get returned but timeline doesn't update

Any ideas how I can get the working/view range to work?

cheers,
Peter

I just asked same question, try to use this:
#set fps
seq.MovieScene.DisplayRate.Numerator = 24
#set start and end frame
seq.sequencer_set_playback_range( frameStart *0.041666667, frameEnd *0.041666667)

By the way, how do you programe the CAMAER importer? Are you using 'sequencer_import_fbx_transform' function? I am asking because I'd like to do the same thing but it doesn't work so well.

Thanks Tao. But your example is not what I am after. I already incorporatated the playbackRange code u mentioned.
I ll post soon here the camera code if you like.

What I need is the WorkingRange/ ViewRange slider adjustment. It only can be set through the EditorData properties... which don’t work for me.

Hi, sequencer_set_view_range(start, end) and sequencer_set_working_range(start, end) have been added

Fantastic! Thanks Master :)

Hi Pete,

Could you please post your method for implementing camera import? "sequencer_import_fbx_transform" gives us bad focal length as opposed to manual import via GUI. Just wonder how you managed to get it right? Thanks!

hi kaedehao,

sorry for the late reply. Christmas Holidays. :)

Click the link below. I responded to someone else with similar question.

Lets improve my method to make it better. I am doing a hack to get the focal length and film back size correclty in. Check it out.
