file sequence naming

…not a bug really but quite inconvenient for us:

[i]0: STDOUT: inFile=V:\FFL\TOW\TOW_41_015\output\TOW_41_015_111221\TOW_41_015_v##.#####.tif

0: STDOUT: raise StandardError(“Provided sequence must contain no more than one contiguous sequence of ‘#’ symbols to be replaced.”)[/i]

Isn´t it possible to check the sequence from the back so it takes the first number as the sequence…?
I am sure we are not the only studio putting the version number at the end of the filename.

Thanks,
Timor

I thought that’s what it was doing… I’ll check up on this, this would definitely be super annoying! Where are you submitting the Draft job from by the way? Are you submitting a stand-alone Draft job from the Monitor? Or through one of our other submitters?

Never mind, I’ve replicated this behaviour. It seems to only happen if the frame padding was already swapped in elsewhere (either in the submission dialog, or by Max or something). I’ve updated the Draft submitters to handle this properly, and attached a copy of each here.

The JobDraftSubmission script goes in [repo]/scripts/Jobs/JobDraftSubmission, and DraftSubmission.py goes in [repo]/scripts/Submission/DraftSubmission

Cheers,

cool, that did the trick!

Thanks

Good to hear :slight_smile:

Hi John,

even though i though this is fixed, we just got this message (we are running Draft 8):

0: STDOUT: inFile=V:\xxxxxx\five-years_001-DEL-049_comp_v###_dzikai_sRGB.####.jpg

It seems draft is still having troubles to identify which padding is the sequence and which is the version number.

Thanks,

Hi Timor, I just have a few questions for you that’ll help me figure out where things are going wrong here.

Which application/plugin was used to render the original frames? How are you submitting the Draft job (job right-click script, standalone Draft submission, integrated application submission script)? It would also help me if you could upload a zipped copy of the job file from the original job that the Draft job was based on (if applicable).

In the meantime, I’ll keep poking around to see if I missed anything the first time I fixed this.

Cheers,
