# 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
