How to build a Media Bin
To build a functional media bin it is helpful to know what data needs to be included as well as the difference between standard cue settings vs specialized cue settings. Here's the constructor for the CueSpec object which is what we use to set the standard cue settings. ` class CueSpec:
def __init__(self, Cuetype = None, Title=None, Thumbnail=None, Cuelength = None, Starttime = None, Backgroundcolorr = None, Backgroundcolorg = None, Backgroundcolorb = None, Layer = None , customTypePage = None):
self.Cuetype = Cuetype
self.Title = Title
self.Thumbnail = Thumbnail
self.Cuelength = Cuelength
self.Starttime = Starttime
self.Backgroundcolorr = Backgroundcolorr
self.Backgroundcolorg = Backgroundcolorg
self.Backgroundcolorb = Backgroundcolorb
self.Layer = Layer
self.CustomTypePage = customTypePage
`
Next we need to provide the data for the specialized cue data. Specialized cue data is the data specific to the type of cue you are building. The user's drop script will pass a dictionary with key/value pairs for each parameter in the cue.
Here's an example Cue Specialization Dictionary for a Media Cue -
` specializedPars = {
"Moviefile" : "My File.png",
"Loop" : True,
"Triminout1" : .1,
"Triminout2" : .4,
"Fadeinout1" : .5,
"Fadeinout2" : .5
}
`
