Properties |
frameCount(f) |
boolean |
 |
|
Query the number of frames in the movie file |
|
width(w) |
boolean |
|
|
Query the width of the movie |
|
height(h) |
boolean |
|
|
Query the height of the movie |
|
quickTime(qt) |
boolean |
|
|
Query whether the movie is a QuickTime movie. |
|
timeCodeTrack(tt) |
boolean |
|
|
Query whether the movie has a timecode track. |
|
dropFrame(df) |
boolean |
|
|
Query the 'drop frame' flag of the movie's timecode
format. |
|
twentyFourHourMax(tf) |
boolean |
|
|
Query the '24 hour max' flag of the movie's timecode
format. |
|
negTimesOK(nt) |
boolean |
|
|
Query the 'neg times OK' flag of the movie's timecode
format. |
|
counter(cn) |
boolean |
|
|
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 |
|
|
Query the timescale of the movie's timecode format. |
|
frameDuration(fd) |
boolean |
|
|
Query the frame duration of the movie's timecode format. |
|
numFrames(nf) |
boolean |
|
|
Query the whole number of frames per second of the movie's
timecode format. |
|
timeCode(tc) |
boolean |
|
|
Query the timecode of the current movie frame. |
|
movieTexture(mt) |
boolean |
|
|
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. |
