Specify frame per file filenames |
|
It is assumed that there will be some numerical sequence in the file naming. The format of the file names is defined in the second box for example frame0000.dpx to frame2317.dpx
In this case the file would be expressed as
frame%04d[0:2317].dpx
A filename format string can be broken down into 3 parts
1. The text that is the same in all filenames.
2. A part that start % and ends in 'd' that defines the layout of the number ( for those familiar with the C programming language this is the same as in 'printf' statements
3. A section in square brackets [] that defines the first and last number and the gap between the numbers.
A part that start % and ends in 'd' specifies the format of the numbering.
%d will give just the number so
0 is written 0
123 is written 123.
%02d will make sure that there are at least 2 digits so
0 is written 00
12 is written 12
123 is written 123.
%04d will make sure that there are at least 2 digits so
0 is written 0000
12 is written 0012
123 is written 0123.
%4d will make sure that each number uses at least 4 spaces
0 is written ' 0'
12 is written ' 12'
123 is written ' 123'.
and so on.
A section in square brackets [] defines the first and last number and the gap between the numbers:
[0:1000] will give all the numbers from 0 to 1000.
[0:1000#10] will give every tenth number from 0 to 1000
Thus the format is:
[ <first number>:<last number>#<step>]
