Hi there! I’m very fresh to flame; and I’m trying to write some python code which will use the flame python API to move some PySegments around on the timeline, the same as dragging a segment around:
So far, reading the documentation and playing around in the script editor, I think that PySegment.change_start_frame might be the method that I want to accomplish this? It seems to work okay when I have a track with a single PySegment on it:
Here, I am able to set my start frame to the desired value. I did notice, however, that if I set the start frame this way, and then access the record_in attribute for my segment (which I believe gives me a PyTime for the segments start time in the track?) it doesn’t seem to change after running change_start_frame…
Also, when there’s another segment on the same track, change_start_frame seems to have no effect:
Perhaps this is expected here, to avoid the first segment overlapping the second? Even so; it looks like this still does not work, even if there’s a gap large enough to accommodate the first segment:
Is anyone able to point me in the right direction here? I just want to be able to move some segments around using code, and I’m not seeing a clear way to do this using the API at present.
