Adding New Shots

< Previous | | Manuals Home | Boris FX | Next >

The following calls either create a new scene and add a shot to it, or add a shot to the existing SynthEyes scene. Both regular or stereo shots are supported. For “New” operations, the previous scene should already be saved, as these operations are unconditional and not undoable.

The filename(s) must have complete path information, and may be a movie, an IFL, or the first image in a sequence.

The aspect ratio argument is strongly suggested, it is for the overall image. If no aspect ratio is supplied, it will be calculated based on square pixels. If the aspect ratio must be changed later, it requires several specialized operations and quite a few calculations, so the correct aspect should be supplied initially if it is available (ie from a shot management system).

These calls return the new (Left, if stereo) shot, or None.
