How to add a source at a specific frame position?

Hi there.

We've added a new feature in our plugin where specific versions of a scene can be loaded based on some rules.

Some of these scenes have all their shots but some of them not, so we want to load existing shots at their proper location, not sequentially. I've tried to find something similar to addSourceAt or insertSource but didn't find anything.

Ideally, we'd rather replace missing frames with an image we have for this purpose, but I already tried using brute force (with a <1Kb image) and it just takes forever.

 

How can we go about this?

Thanks.

  Hi José,

  Have you tried using movieprocs as slugs in place of missing source media versions? I would use those. They are programmatically generated material and can be totally blank. Here is the relevant entry in the documentation:

  Thanks,
  Jon
