holdFrames v1.2

just removed the last line which was a debug left over

some updates as per Chris' comments:

•  using an increment in the frame range is now supported (example: 1-100x5)
• adde "import nuke" statement
• fixed example in description

  ---

holdFrames will extract still frames from a selected node based on it's inherent frame range.

example entry for menu.py:

1
2
3
4

import holdFrames
 
toolbar = nuke.toolbar('Nodes')
toolbar.addCommand('Time/Hold Frames', 'holdFrames.holdFrames( nuke.selectedNode(), holdRange="all" )')

when run with holdRange="all" (like in the above example), each frame in the node's frame range will be extracted by a FrameHold node (you can run this on any node, not just Reads).

You can also customise the behaviour by using a custom frame range like this:

1

holdFrames.holdFrames( nuke.selectedNode(), holdRange='2-5' )

 or invoke a frame range dialog like this:

1

holdFrames.holdFrames( nuke.selectedNode(), holdRange='ask' )

(actually, any given range that can't be interpreted will invoke the frame range dialog)
