Hello It is all almost in the title, but is it possible to make a python script that can let me create a Nuke script using import and export nodes data inside a Batch to automate the creation of Nuke scripts based on batches? ---

Of course the creation of that Nuke script is to be able to export an EXR sequence with metadata copied from original sequence ---

Hi Chadi, I have to think that it is possible although I’ve never done it. With the flame Python API you can get the path and file name of clips, so it should be pretty straightforward to insert that information into a new Nuke script with Python. ---

Any idea where I can start? I have never done Python in Flame before, but have some scripting notions Thanks Andy ---

Yes. Go to the help files in flame and look in the API section. You’ll see a heading called Python API Examples. I’m pretty sure that the command to import clips or get the path is in there. You can pop open the flame python console and test it out. ---

Did you manage to get this working? would be interesting to see how.
