ImageSource(): Multiple Non-Adjacent Frame Ranges

[audiohominis]

Guys. :)

If I needed to read in a range from a png sequence, while leaving out certain bad frames, e.g. keeping everything from 1400 to 2000 but skipping 1433, 1599, and so on, (collapsing the rest, so to speak), how would I go about it?


Imaginary pseudo-script:
ImageSource("%04d.png", 1400-1432, 1434-1598, 1600-2000 fps=24)
I didn't get this from the Wiki manual.
Please help.
Thanks.

ImageSource("%04d.png", 1400,1432)+ImageSource("%04d.png",1434,1598)+ImageSource("%04d.png",1600,2000)
assumefps(24)


Or this might also work - I think ImageSource will only PNGs as and when they are required:

ImageSource("%04d.png",1400,2000,fps=24)
DeleteFrame(33,199)

Can't you just split it up?

a=ImageSource("%04d.png", 1400-1432, fps=24)
b=ImageSource("%04d.png", 1434-1598, fps=24)
c=ImageSource("%04d.png", 1600-2000, fps=24)
a+b+c

EDIT: whoops, too slow :)

Thank you so much for the replies, guys.

Slow as in performance-wise, or as in you-got-preempted?:p

You need to remove the not required frames in reverse order or adjust for the shift from each delete. :-ImageSource("%04d.png", 1400, 2000, fps=24)
DeleteFrame(199) # 1599-1400
DeleteFrame(33) # 1433-1400

Or DeleteFrame now takes multiple arguments (and internally sorts so no problem there) :-ImageSource("%04d.png",1400,2000,fps=24)
DeleteFrame(33, 199) # 1433-1400, 1599-1400

Thank you very much too, Ian.:thanks:
