Element-Number padding

element_number_padding

Set the number padding for the naming convention.
Value of 5 looks like this: fire_00023
default: 5

Framecount for Filmstrip

filmstrip_length

Set the frames used for the preview filmstrip in the ingest view. No matter the length of the sequence, the filmstrip length will be this many frames.
default: 24

Thumbnail Frame of Sequence

thumbnail_frame

Set which frame of a sequence should be used for the thumbnail frame
default: center

Re-number Frames of Sequence
First Frame of Sequence

first_frame

If disabled, no renaming will be happening for file sequences.
If enabled, it sets the first frame of a sequence when transcoding a file sequence. The files of the sequence will be renamed.

default: enable = true and first frame = 1001

Some VFX studios like start with the common 1001 frame. Other studios start with 0 or 1.
This forces the artist to align the correct range before working on a shot. It makes sure that the frame range of an element is long enough.

Info

Why should we use the base category?

We want our library to be sustainable and be as static as possible for many years.
Once we ingest an element it should not move or be renamed.
If we want to open up a project file from years ago all the media files should be found.

That is why you should decided to store the elements in the base category folder

Info

To go up one directory you can use the relative path double dots '..'
/some/path/<source.directory>/../<proxy_folder> -> will resolve to /some/path/the-proxy-folder

Path Values

...

Path values are used to resolve the values of the path patterns depending on the element that will be ingested or rendered. Some values are known once we actually know the data that we want to ingest, others values can be set by you (custom values). The custom values can be overwritten in the library and the transcoding templates.
