Split Layer Topic is solved

[scribbly]

I've looked all the way through the George Wiki but I can't see a command to Split a layer.

Surely there must be one? Or is there another way to achieve the same result?

Thanks

It's in the Animator Panel now.

Ah, yes... but is it callable from a script? I want to do other things with the same function...

GEORGE doesn't have a command to split layers. You have to build a script to do it. Here's an example...

And here's the script:

Spoiler : :

Code: Select all

// LayerSplit.grg
// Svengali © 2018
// (April) 2018 - ver .0

// on layer to be split, set cursor on what will be the first frame in new layer
// note: new split layer is globally shifted to align one frame past last frame of original layer

Param none
ScriptName = "LayerSplit"

tv_UndoOpenStack									// suspend stack
tv_LayerCurrentID									// get ID for layer to be split
LayerID = result
tv_LayerGetImage									// get current frame
SplitFrame = result
tv_LayerInfo										// get layer name and last frame
parse result d d d LayerName d d LastFrame d
TotalFrames = LastFrame - SplitFrame + 1			// calculate number of frames to cut
tv_LayerSelect SplitFrame TotalFrames				// select frames to cut
LayerName1 = LayerName "-1"							// new name for original layer
LayerName2 = LayerName "-2"							// new name for new layer
tv_LayerCut											// cut selected frames
tv_LayerRename LayerID LayerName1 					// rename original layer
tv_LayerCreate LayerName2							// create new layer
NewLayerID = result									// get new layer's ID
tv_LayerSet NewLayerID								// select new layer
tv_LayerAnim										// make new layer anim layer
tv_LayerImage 1										// set cursor to first frame of new layer
tv_LayerPaste										// paste cut frames into new layer
tv_LayerSelect 0 1									// select first (blank) frame
tv_LayerCut											// delete blank frame
tv_LayerShift NewLayerID SplitFrame					// shift new layer start frame = global SplitFrame
tv_LayerSet LayerID									// reselect original layer
tv_UndoCloseStack									// restart undo stack

Ah yes! Was thinking about that, thanks for the clever script!
