Creating Custom Listings for the Format Pop-Up Menu
In the startup directory:
DefTimecodeMode(
“Name”,
fps,
numFramesToDrop,
numSecondsDropIntervals,
numSecondsDropException
);
DefTimecodeMode(“24 FPS”, 24);
DefTimecodeMode(“30 FPS DF”, 30, 2, 60, 600);
These define the timecode modes for the timecodeMode pop-up menu in the Globals
tab.
To set the default timecodeMode, use:
script.timecodeMode = “24 FPS”;
Default Timecode Modes and Displays
In the startup or ui directory:
script.framesPerSecond = 24;
script.timecodeMode = “24 FPS”;
gui.timecodeDisplay = 0;
Set one or the other. Setting the timecodeMode allows you to use drop-frame settings.
See above to set the timecode modes. The third line is to display the frames in the
Curve Editor and Time Bar as frames or timecode. 1 = timecode; 0 = frames. The other
timecode modes are: “25 FPS,” “30 FPS DF,” and “30 FPS ND.”
Autosave Settings
The following declarations let you modify Shake’s autosave behavior.
Autosave Frequency
In the startup directory:
script.autoSaveDelay = 60;
