[ANSWERED+FEATURE REQUEST LOGGED] Timecode /DEF

jfg

How can I get the value/framerate of a timecode:

in a Text Chopper actor this value disappear.

Thanks

It's a bit of a round about way (and you have to wait 1 second for it to work) but it works.

I think this would be better as an extra output from the movie player when it is in 'timecode' mode. Perhaps that's a feature request.

I use already a similar solution but I am looking for a more direct way to get this.

Thank you

This is a possible solution up to 99 hours. Using a Text parser you can split all the necessary information.

hours:string=2c ":" minutes:string=2c ":" seconds:string=2c ":" frames:string=2c "/" amount_frames:string=2c

You could also split everything behind /

Thank you for your suggestion but it does not work because /25 is not transferred in the Text Parser actor.

Hi there,

Could you take a look with us? Perhaps we can convert it / mutate it to text only

I've added a feature request to update the Get Media Info actor to output the framerate of a selected file, and also for Get Media Info to be able to be switched between seconds and timecode mode like the Movie Player.

I find that @Kathmandale 's solution is quite direct, but I'll also log the feature request for the Movie Player actor to output the framerate as a separate output when in timecode mode.
