‌Generate Sections of a Shot

Here's a Synthia script that generates successive 2000-frame pieces of a shot, with a 100-frame (actually 101) overlap between pieces for blending stabilization.

define the procedure to generate piece.

click and wait for file save. // save any changes to current file for sure.

// Uncomment this if desired: click and wait for submit for batch.

// If so, submit the last one for batch yourself, when you're done with it.

make camera 1's start frame frame camera 1's end frame number minus 100.

make camera 1's end frame frame camera 1's end frame number + 2000.

if camera 1's end frame number is greater than camera 1's length-1,

make camera 1's end frame frame camera 1's length-1.

make the scene's playback start frame camera 1's start frame. make the scene's playback end frame camera 1's end frame. flush camera 1's cache.

click and wait for reset time bar. click and wait for rewind.

click and wait for save next version. done.

Here it is shown as defining a procedure (generate piece), but it is used in a .sia file to implement Create Next Piece for 360VR stabilization of long files.

Note that the section size and overlap numbers are fixed in the script, but you could modify it to have parameters too, something like generate a 2000 frame piece with 100 frame overlap.
