We are working on VFX shots. When we receive the raw footage from the client, we output EXR files and publish them through the Tray Publisher as a Plate product.
The thing is that we have handles before and after so let’s suppose the shot is 45 frames long (from 1001 to 1045), in reality we have .exr from 991 to 1055.
This is the shot folder in AYON:
Publishing EXR files with handles works perfectly but in the loader, I see this:
The Tray Publisher should have a toggle to “collect the frame range from the source sequence”. I believe if you disable that it then enforces the shot’s frame range (incl. the handles).
I’m not sure if it does any validations so it might actually also apply the full range if the sequence is of different length.
I have actually always wanted to make that an ENUM instead so that it could be labeled Frame Range* and have multiple methods like:
Use frame range from image sequence or media timecode
Use context entity frame range (folder or task)
Set explicit frame range values
The set explicit could then expose a start, end, handle start, handle end number attribute for you to manually set if needed.
I always figured that’d be way clearer because with this checkbox - if you were to disable that. Then what does it do?
@BigRoy Seems like I can’t disable this option ayon+settings://traypublisher/publish/CollectFrameDataFromAssetEntity?project=<PROJECT> so that it’s disabled in the publisher. Can you confirm?
However, The Collect Original Sequence Frame Data is another plugin, CollectSequenceFrameData. and the settings of this one are not exposed in the addon settings.
