This is a work in progress script. It's basically the front end of a tool that would allow you to send a movie and thumbnail image with pertinent info to a web database. This script will collect information about the comp and project and write it to a file.
Instructions:
Note: Before using this script, you will need to load the Render Settings and Output Module Templates. The script calls them by name. Also remember where you put the db.txt file. The db.txt file is a proxy for the data received from a web database.
1. Select a comp
2. Run the script
3. Pick a folder where you would like the .mov,.jpg, and.txt files to be written.
4. Select the db.txt file
5. Enter data into the dialog box that comes up.
This is what the Dialog looks like.
Here is an example of what it puts into the Render Queue.
This is what the text file it writes looks like.
Right now this script isn't very useful because it doesn't actually connect to a remote server yet. I hope that posting this I can help people by giving them some example code to look at for other scripts. I will be updating this script as it evolves.
I have done some playing with sending things back and forth with mysql so I will have to peek at your work when I get a chance.
