pymel.core.animation.shot¶

shot(*args, **kwargs)¶

Use this command to create a shot node or manipulate that node.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
audio / aud		unicode
	Specify the audio clip for this shot. Audio can be linked to a shot to allow playback of specific sounds when that shot is being displayed in the Sequencer. Refer to the shot node’s documentation for details on how audio is used by shots and the Sequencer.
clip / cl		unicode
	The clip associated with this shot. This clip will be posted to the currentCamera’s imagePlane. Refer to the shot node’s documentation for details on how cameras are used by shots and the Sequencer.
clipDuration / cd		time
	Length of clip. This is used for the display of the clip indicator bar in the Sequencer.
clipOpacity / co		float
	Opacity for the shot’s clip, this value is assigned to the currentCamera’s imagePlane. Refer to the shot node’s documentation for details on how cameras are used by shots and the Sequencer.
clipSyncState / css		bool
	The viewport synchronization status of the clip associated with this shot. Return values are, 0 = no clip associated with this shot 1 = clip is fully in sync with viewport, and frames are 1:1 with sequencer 2 = clip is partially in sync with viewport, movie may be scaled to match sequencer 3 = clip not in sync with viewport (i.e. could have scale/time/camera differences)
clipZeroOffset / czo		time
	Specify which time of the clip corresponds to the beginning of the shot. This is used to properly align splitted clips.
copy / c		bool
	This flag is used to copy a shot to the clipboard. In query mode, this flag allows you to query what, if anything, has been copied into the shot clipboard.
createCustomAnim / cca		bool
	Creates an animation layer and links the shot node’s customAnim attr to the weight attr of the animation layer
currentCamera / cc		unicode
	The camera associated with this shot. Refer to the shot node’s documentation for details on how cameras are used by shots and the Sequencer.
customAnim / ca		bool
	Returns the name of the animation layer node linked to this shot node’s customAnim attr
deleteCustomAnim / dca		bool
	Disconnects the animation layer from this shot’s customAnim attr and deletes the animation layer node
determineTrack / dt		bool
	Determines an available track for the shot. Returns a new track number or the existing track number if the current track is available.
endTime / et		time
	The shot end time in the Maya timeline. Changing the startTime will extend the duration of a shot.
favorite / fav		bool
	Make the shot a favorite. This is a UI indicator only to streamline navigation in the Sequencer panel
flag1 / f1		bool
	User specified state flag 1/12 for this shot
flag10 / f10		bool
	User specified state flag 10/12 for this shot
flag11 / f11		bool
	User specified state flag 11/12 for this shot
flag12 / f12		bool
	User specified state flag 12/12 for this shot
flag2 / f2		bool
	User specified state flag 2/12 for this shot
flag3 / f3		bool
	User specified state flag 3/12 for this shot
flag4 / f4		bool
	User specified state flag 4/12 for this shot
flag5 / f5		bool
	User specified state flag 5/12 for this shot
flag6 / f6		bool
	User specified state flag 6/12 for this shot
flag7 / f7		bool
	User specified state flag 7/12 for this shot
flag8 / f8		bool
	User specified state flag 8/12 for this shot
flag9 / f9		bool
	User specified state flag 9/12 for this shot
hasCameraSet / hcs		bool
	Returns true if the camera associated with this shot is a camera set.
hasStereoCamera / hsc		bool
	Returns true if the camera associated with this shot is a stereo camera.
linkAudio / la		unicode
	Specify an audio clip to link to this shot. Any currently linked audio will be unlinked.
lock / lck		bool
	Lock a specific shot. This is different than locking an entire track, which is done via the shotTrack command
mute / m		bool
	Mute a specific shot. This is different than muting an entire track, which is done via the shotTrack command. Querying this attribute will return true if the shot is muted due to its own mute, its shot being muted, or its shot being unsoloed. See flag selfmuteto query only the shot’s own state.
paste / p		bool
	This flag is used to paste a shot or shots from the clipboard to the sequence timeline. Shots are added to the clipboard using the c/copy flag.
pasteInstance / pi		bool
	This flag is used to paste an instance of a shot or shots from the clipboard to the sequence timeline. Unlike the p/paste flag, which duplicates the camera and image plane from the original source shot, the pi/pasteInstance flag shares the camera and image plane from the source shot. The audio node is duplicated.
postHoldTime / pst		time
	Specify the time length to append to the shot in the sequence timeline. This repeats the last frame of the shot, in sequence time, over the specified duration.
preHoldTime / prt		time
	Specify the time length to prepend to the shot in the sequence timeline. This repeats the first frame of the shot, in sequence time, over the specified duration.
scale / s		float
	Specify an amount to scale the Maya frame range of the shot. This will affect the sequenceEndFrame, leaving the sequenceStartFrame unchanged.
selfmute / sm		bool
	Query if this individual shot’s own mute state is set. This is different from the flag mute, which will return true if this shot is muted due to the track being muted or another track being soloed. Editing this flag will set this shot’s own mute status (identical behavior as the flag mute).
sequenceDuration / sqd		time
	Return the sequence duration of the shot, which will include the holds and scale. This flag can only be queried.
sequenceEndTime / set		time
	The shot end in the sequence timeline. Changing the endTime of a shot will scale it in sequence time.
sequenceStartTime / sst		time
	The shot start in the sequence timeline. Changing the startTime of a shot will shift it in sequence time.
shotName / sn		unicode
	Specify a user-defined name for this shot. This allows the assignment of names that are not valid as node names within Maya. Whenever the shotName attribute is defined its value is used in the UI.
sourceDuration / sd		time
	Return the number of source frames in the shot. This flag can only be queried.
startTime / st		time
	The shot start time in the Maya timeline. Changing the startTime will extend the duration of a shot.
track / trk		int
	Specify the track in which this shot resides.
transitionInLength / til		time
	Length of the transtion into the shot.
transitionInType / tit		int
	Specify the the type of transition for the transition into the shot. 0 = Fade 1 = Dissolve
transitionOutLength / tol		time
	Length of the transtion out of the shot.
transitionOutType / tot		int
	Specify the the type of transition for the transition out of the shot. 0 = Fade 1 = Dissolve
unlinkAudio / ula		bool
	COMMENT Unlinks any currently linked audio. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.shot

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

myShot = pm.shot('myShot', st=10, et=19);
pm.shot(myShot, e=True, sst=100, set=119);
pm.shot(myShot, q=True, st=True);
pm.shot(myShot, q=True, sst=True);
pm.shot(myShot, e=True, pst=10);
pm.shot(myShot, q=True, set=True);
pm.shot(myShot, e=True, prt=5);
pm.shot(myShot, q=True, set=True);
pm.shot(myShot, q=True, sd=True);
