#
# This example illustrates how to use the time control to trim an instantiated clip.
#
from win32com.client import constants as c
oRoot = Application.ActiveSceneRoot
oNull = oRoot.AddNull("myNull")
oPosX = oNull.Parameters("Posx")
# Create and connect a function curve to the position x
oFCurve = oPosX.AddFCurve2([1, 10, 50, 0, 100, 10], c.siUnknownFCurve)
# This value should be 10;
Application.LogMessage("The animated value at frame 1 is %f " % (oPosX.Value))
# Create the animation source
oSource = Application.StoreAction(oRoot,"myNull.kine.local.posx",2,"StoredFcvPose", 1, 1, 100, 0,0)
# Create the first clip
oClip = Application.AddClip(oRoot, oSource)
# Use the ClipIn read-only scripting property to print the inital ClipIn value
oTimeControl = oClip.TimeControl
Application.LogMessage("The clip in value is %f " % (oTimeControl.ClipIn))
# Now use access the ClipIn parameter via the ParameterCollection (Property.Parameters) to change 
# the ClipIn value and print the new value
oTimeControl.Parameters("ClipIn").Value = 50
Application.LogMessage("The clip in value is now %f " % (oTimeControl.ClipIn))
# Now the value should be 0.
Application.LogMessage("The value after the clip manipulation is %f " % (oPosX.Value))
# Expected results:
#INFO : The animated value at frame 1 is 10.000000 
#INFO : The clip in value is 1.000000 
#INFO : The clip in value is now 50.000000 
#INFO : The value after the clip manipulation is 0.000000
