Python: Create social format timelines from existing timelines

On one job I’m on right now, everything was finished at 2880x2004 or 2880x2581 to cover social and TVC. Doing it at UHD was a definite ‘no’ from the team that set it all up.

I’ve just test. It works great, but the new sequences don’t have the right and approved repos for every shot for every format. Please, don’t toy with my emotions.

Just installed it and it works like a charm. I am only facing an issue with the 4x5 feature somehow. the correct resolution should be 1080x1350 but my sequence becomes 1350x1080. Is there a fix on my end that i can do?

Woops…you can download it again, it’s been fixed. Or… change line 28 to:
create_timeline(selection, 1350, 1080)

I love this script so with @kyleobley’s permission, I built a simple UI for it that looks like this:

Grab it below or from the Logik Portal.

If you have it installed already, remove it and replace it with this folder. I’ve also changed like 28 to match above.

@john-geehreng is the UI update a 2025 only thing?

Very Nice!

Hey @TimC
I’ve only tested it in 2025.2.2, but I think it should work in 2023.2 and above.

sorry spoke too soon - i can confirm even thought the UI shows up, it doesn’t actually work in Flame2023.3.2

“File “/opt/Autodesk/shared/python/social_versions_ui.py”, line 250, in create_timelines
create_timeline(self.selection, yslider.value(), xslider.value(), entry.text())
TypeError: create_timeline() takes 3 positional arguments but 4 were given”

the non-UI version still works great. another reason for me to push for an upgrade… thx for listening.

Are you using my version of Kyle’s script or Kyle’s version from above. I tweaked his version so the user can control the name, hence the 4th argument.

this is the best thing … ever

I was literally starting to write this myself because i was tasked with making 100 social versions and i am lazy, but this is like perfect timing <3 thank you !!

one very unimportant feature request: keep color of source timeline

we use a very pretty gradient coloring system :smiley:

Hey @finnjaeger try v0.3. I can’t test it because I don’t have a license at the moment but it should work. Only had to add one little line.

Great idea. This has been updated in the Logik Portal too. Now color will match and renders get flushed in the resizes.
