Drag & drop an image sequence from the browser to nuke

#1 · 18. April 2019, 15:11

Congratulations for Prism Pipeline and thank you very much for sharing it.

I found a bug by dragging and dropping an image sequence from the Prism browser to nuke.
In the write node the file name should contain "####" rather than "@@@@".

Also the write does not take the good frame range of the sequence.
It counts only one frame surely because of the error of the file name (1-1).

For .mov it works properly.

Thanks again and sorry for my bad english.

Hey Franklin,

actually that's not a bug. Some programs (like the RV image sequence player) expect @@@@ as framepadding characters. To drag and drop the preview into Nuke hold the ctrl key and then start dragging it into Nuke. Then Prism will use %04d instead of @@@@, which Nuke understands. The framerange of the read node is correct then too.

When you hover over the preview in the Project Browser you also see a tooltip, which explains this behavior.

PS: Your english isn't bad at all.

When rendering was done by prism (from Nuke) there is a versioninfo.ini file in the same folder as the images.
This one is imported at the same time as the sequence of frames.
An exception should be made for files of this type.

What do you think?

I agree that this file should be ignored. In this case it's a bit more work than just a two lines fix, but I'll try to fix that soon.

It's true that it is a detail and it's not really problematic.
