Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
frameCount(f) boolean create
Query the number of frames in the movie file
width(w) boolean create
Query the width of the movie
height(h) boolean create
Query the height of the movie
quickTime(qt) boolean create
Query whether the movie is a QuickTime movie.
timeCodeTrack(tt) boolean create
Query whether the movie has a timecode track.
dropFrame(df) boolean create
Query the 'drop frame' flag of the movie's timecode format.
twentyFourHourMax(tf) boolean create
Query the '24 hour max' flag of the movie's timecode format.
negTimesOK(nt) boolean create
Query the 'neg times OK' flag of the movie's timecode format.
counter(cn) boolean create
Query the 'counter' flag of the movie's timecode format. If this is true, the timecode returned by the -timeCode flag will be a simple counter. If false, the returned timecode will be an array of integers (hours, minutes, seconds, frames).
timeScale(ts) boolean create
Query the timescale of the movie's timecode format.
frameDuration(fd) boolean create
Query the frame duration of the movie's timecode format.
numFrames(nf) boolean create
Query the whole number of frames per second of the movie's timecode format.
timeCode(tc) boolean create
Query the timecode of the current movie frame.
movieTexture(mt) boolean create
If set, the string argument is interpreted as the name of a movie texture node, and the command then operates on the movie loaded by that node.
