Batch Setup Start Frame

You can modify the Start Frame of a Batch setup, using the numeric field located above the Current Frame field. Modifying the Start Frame automatically slips the existing keyframes and frames the Animation channel, by the desired amount.

You can toggle between the Duration and End Frame display from the Options drop down button. This setting is persistent in the User profile.

If appending a setup that starts at a different start frame than the current Batch Group, the application prompts you to select whether to align the appended setup to the current Batch Group start frame, to preserve the keyframe location of the appended setup or to define a custom location.

The Batch Start Frame is automatically set to the Background segment Source Start value when the Create Batch Group function is used from the Timeline / Conform.

The Batch Start Frame is automatically set when the Create Batch function is used in Lustre. If a segment has heads in Lustre and the Render > Local > Head&Tails option is disabled in Lustre, then the Batch Group will set the start frame to the head value instead of the media start.

It is possible to create a new Batch Group at the software launch using the following arguments:

• --batchGroupName: Lets you define the Batch Group name.
• --batchStart: Lets you define the Batch start frame.
• --batchEnd: Lets you define the Batch end frame.
• --batchDuration: Lets you define the Batch setup duration.

Note: --batchDuration has precedence over --batchEnd if both are defined (They should not be).
