Hi,
I was wondering how can I make the "simpleslate" overlay support mutliline text. since the scripts uses "drawNameValuePairs" function it seems that there is no mutliline support (?). I tried using gltext.writeAtNL just so I can write multiline comments but because the "drawNameValuePairs" is dynamic I am having problems making all the text live in peace ;)
whats the easiest way to add mutiline comments to the slate ?
Thanks in advance
Ran
I will answer my own question but if there is a better answer please share :)
after few more tryouts I decide to go with breaking the comment newlines in python before I supply it to the Mu script and supply the first line as:
"comment:%s" % line
and any following comment line as
":%s" % line
so my rvio cmdline looks like:
rvio sh0001.mov -overlay simpleslate "CompanyName" "Show=XXX" "Seq=00100" "Shot=0001" "Type=previz" "Artist=Alex" "time=Tue, 16 Nov 2010 13:12:47" "Comments=bla bla bla " "=bla bla bla" "=bla bla bla" -o sh0001_overlay.mov
Hah,
That's what I was going to to suggest. Glad it's working for you!
