Export EDL CMX3600: work in Progress

[Mads Juul]

Hey All

Im using TVPaint And Adobe Premiere To make My Storyboards and Animatic
I wanted to make a way to get my drawings from TVpaint to Premiere and still keep the timing so I found out that I could write a
EDL file Premier uses the CMX3600 Syntax so I have tried to mimic that
.

The script Works the following way.
-You select the layer with the storyboard drawings
-You have saved your Project
-In the Folder where the Project is saved the script creates a folder called "TGA" and save every instance on the current layer as a TGA file
-In the Folder where the Project is saved the script creates a EDL file with the same name as the tvpaint project

Because I havnt access to information about sound Im not capable to get the sound editing iformation inm y EDL.
but maybe in future releases of tvpaint that will be possible?

once thing is not acting as i have expected it seem like the tv_writetextfile trims the string for white spaces!!
I think that white spaces are importent for the syntax of EDL. But I have succeded in importing onto Premiere anyway

The way it SHOULd look

Code: Select all

TITLE: test2_01mj_prm

001  AX       V     C        01:59:59:24 02:00:00:03 00:00:00:00 00:00:00:04
* FROM CLIP NAME: storyboard_001.tga

The Way it looks

Code: Select all

TITLE: test2_01mj

001 AX V C 00:59:59:24 01:00:00:03 00:00:00:00 00:00:00:04
* FROM CLIP NAME: storyboard_001.tga

Is it possible to keep more that one white space?

hope it will be usefull for some?

Is it possible to keep more that one white space?

tv_writetextfile split all word and remove spaces
The tips is to add a space between cote ( " ) and apostrophe ( ' ) but george remove the first cote( " )
use apostrophe cote apostrophe space apostrophe cote apostrophe ( '"' '"' ) : tv_writetextfile "Append" '"'"filePath'"'" '"' '" '"' '"'BL'"'" '"'" '"'" '"'"......

Simple no ?
