DPX Import

[vijm1972]

Hi Steipal,

Please let me know how can I import .dpx files along with audio .wav files? I want to create watch folder base workflow to process DPX files.

Thanks
Vijay

Importing image sequences is not easily doable with the current built in features. This is however on the roadmap and I hope to get it ready for the upcoming 0.7.x branch.

Is it possible to disabled monitor folder and provide the source location from custom ffmpeg command line? Below command I am using through FFMPEG.

ffmpeg.exe -f image2 -i "D:\FFMPEG\DPX_Test\Inbox\Test\Test_%04d.dpx" -c:v prores_ks -profile:v 3 -pix_fmt yuv422p10le -qscale:v 1 -s 1920x1080 -r 25 -vtag apch -vendor apl0 -c:a pcm_s24le "D:\FFMPEG\DPX_Test\Outbox\Test.mov"

Can we use the same in FFAStrans?

Thanks
Vijay

If you monitor only reciept files like f.ex. *.txt and these are created after ALL the .dpx files is present in the monitored folder, you can use the variable "%original_path%/%original_name%%04d.dpx" as input for you ffmpeg command. But because you need "-f image2" prior to the input ("-i ...") you cannot use the "Custom FFmpeg"-encoder. You will have to use the "Command executor" node and execute ffmpeg from there. You'll find a supplied ffmpeg.exe in the "FFAStrans\Processors\FFmpeg" folder or use you own binary.

Now you will have to make sure that the reciept file has the same name as the .dpx files. F.ex:

If you have movie_0001.dpx, movie_0002.dpx, movie_0003.dpx etc. your reciept files should be named movie_.txt. The variable "%original_name%" will then be populate with the string "movie_". "%original_path%" refers to the path where the movie_xxxx.dpx and movie_.txt resides.

Hi Vijay

I'm sorry but, but contrary to what I wrote last june, reading image sequences has not been the focus in the 0.7.x branch. But it will come, I assure you. Just stay tuned.
