I'm trying to set the timeSpanStart in the RQ, but I'm having some problems. If I create five compositions with composition display start frames set to 1, 101, 202, 303, 404 and add them to the render que with the attached script, I get different results. For example, if I say that the first frame to render should be 450 I get the following results: Comp1 = 249, Comp101 = 249, Comp202 = 249, Comp303 = 250, Comp404 = 250. Maybe I'm missing something obvious here, but why am I not getting the same results? Is there a floating number rounding problem?

Code: Select all



var myPalette = buildUI(this);

    if(myPalette != null && myPalette instanceof Window) {
        myPalette.show();
            }

function buildUI (thisObject) {
    
    if(thisObject instanceof Panel) {
        var myPalette = thisObject;
        }else{
        var myPalette = new Window ("palette", "test", undefined, {resizeable:true});
        }

    if(myPalette != null) {
    
        var res =
        "Group { \
         orientation: 'row', \
         alignment: ['fill', 'fill'], \
         alignChildren: ['left', 'top'], \
         left: Group { \
            orientation: 'column', \
            one: Group { \
               orientation: 'row', \
                alignment: ['left', 'top'], \
                firstFrame: EditText {size: ['100', '25']}, \
                } \
         } \
         right: Group { \
            orientation: 'row', \
            alignment: ['right', 'top'], \
           testButton: Button {text: 'Add composition',}, \
         } \
      }";

myPalette.grp = myPalette.add(res);
myPalette.layout.layout(true);
myPalette.layout.resize()
myPalette.resizing = myPalette.onResize = function () {this.layout.resize()};


myPalette.grp.right.testButton.onClick = function () {
    test (myPalette);
    }


}//if(myPalette != null) {

return myPalette;

} //buildUI

function test (palObject) {    
    
if(app.project.selection == 0){
    alert("Please select a composition");
    return;
    }

var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
var compStart = myComp.displayStartTime; // Composition start frame.

var frame = palObject.grp.left.one.firstFrame.text
var fis = myComp.frameDuration*frame; // frame in seconds.

app.project.renderQueue.items.add(myComp);
var lastInRQ = app.project.renderQueue.numItems;

var startSec = fis - compStart;

app.beginSuppressDialogs();
app.project.renderQueue.item(lastInRQ).timeSpanStart = startSec;
app.endSuppressDialogs(false);

}//function renderFunction (palObject) {

I found this thread: http://www.aenhancers.com/viewtopic.php?t=334.

By setting the timeSpanStart to: startSec = (fis - 0.005) - compStart seems to fix the problem. Very odd.
