Pattern browsing help

Good morning guys I am trying to setup pattern browsing and although I got it to work in the past I can’t get it to work now.

Path example is

Emi-102-226-0200/publish/comp/comp/v001/channels/render/exr/emr-102-226-0200-comp-render-v001.exr

The pattern browsing I am trying is

/publish/comp/comp/v{version}/channels/render/exr/{name}-comp-render-v{version}.{extension}

Thanks is advance

Justin

It’s a little tricky to diagnose, but your pattern seems like it should be working. I recreated this folder structure and tried with the same pattern and got it to work.

Are you scanning from the /Emi-102-226-0200 folder?

Yeah …… I was thinking do I need to do the frame padding!

If its an image sequence then yes you’ll need to put in a token for the frames. It would be

/publish/comp/comp/v{version}/channels/render/exr/{name}-comp-render-v{version}.{frame}.{extension}

I am still struggling to get this to work here is the actual file path


Any help much appreciated

in your screenshot pattern browsing is disabled ? :smiley:

/publish/comp/comp/v{version}/channels/render/exr/{name}-v{version}.{extension}

this worked for me to pull 3 versions. I was assuming
comp-render should be part of the clipname, I was having issues pulling diofferent versions from your original pattern for some reason. I dont know WHY though but it only finds v1 with your pattern if I remove comp-render it just works … also if I replace comp-render with a token like {artist}-{task} then it pulls the comp and render into metadata for artist and task and it works fine again.

rendered 3 exr sequences to here:

/Volumes/proj/XXX_development/pattern/Emi-102-226-0200/publish/comp/comp/v003/channels/render/exr/emr-102-226-0200-comp-render-v003.####.exr

and then browsed from the Emi-102-226-0200 directory

Running flame version 2022 on Mac. When I change to shotname it flags an error stating you need name token to get multiple version

yea sorry I got the 2 confused :smiley: check my latest post I edited it a bunch :slight_smile:

Cool will give it a try and yeah I do turn on the pattern browser button as well lol :joy:

Yeah your test pattern is the same …… but this just won’t work on this flame. So frustrating as it should work

make sure you check if its -version or _version

Yeah it’s the _version just tricky to type that on my phone

Not sure if you’ve retyped it since posting this screenshot, but it looks like you have a square bracket ( ] ) at the end of version instead of a brace ( } ).

I’ve definitely been tripped up on that a few times.
