In the Deadline monitor task pane, selecting a finished chunk and right-clicking reveals the option to “View someSeq.####.format for this task…” yet when I choose this the file list dialog opens, I select a sequence player,I can only open a single frame.
Is there a method that will open the sequence, instead of just a single?
Currently, no. However, you could probably write a script for the job’s right-click menu to do this. If you take a look at the existing Quicktime submitter in \your\repository\scripts\Job\JobQuicktimeSubmission\JobQuicktimeSubmission.py, you can see how we use JobUtils.GetFirstOutputFilename( 0 ) to get the first output filename from the job (thinkboxsoftware.com/deadlin … _Utilities).
Hopefully you would be able to use that to launch a sequence viewer to view the frames for the job.
Cheers,
Maybe this idea of having a right-click menu inside of the task list >> “scripts” is a good idea for different studios customisation?
Hmmm, ok will have a look into that, sounds good enough. Thanks for the pointer.
I am all for scripting everywhere… it is needed 
LOL
