[Nuke-users] How to check zip compression type for EXR images...?

2012-05-22 Thread Rich Bobo
Hi, Anyone know a quick way to check EXR images to see if they were saved as 16-scanline zips or single-scanline zips? ViewMetaData reveals nothing about the compression type. I'm sure there's a command line invocation that will show more - I just can't find it... Thanks for any help, Rich

i've been using the mac and dell screens, and prefer the dell's. The mac screens look amazing, but they tend to be as reflective as a full on mirror if you're not in a completely dark room :( On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 2:14 PM, KiboOst nuke-users-re...@thefoundry.co.uk wrote: And can you use Nuke

The compression attribute will be in a different place within the header depending on the number of channels in the file (due to the layout of the EXR header). Adrian's snippet is simply finding the 'compression' attribute name within the header, since that is one of the standard EXR

OK, I have something that seems to work really well, at least in my test cases... It has some checks for whether or not you have any nodes selected, if it's a Read node and if it's an EXR file. After that, I used Adrian's code - after bumping up the header size to search - from 1024 to 4096. I

Hi In fact each channel name in exr can be 31 bytes long, so even 4096 could be too less in some extreme cases. On the other side we don't want to read too much. The code below fix this issue: I did small modifications to read actual size of channels list and skip over, no matter how many

Terrific, Adrian! I'm happy you had a chance to make it more accurate! Hopefully, I'll have a chance tomorrow to give it a try. ...Reminds me of the old days when I used tape handling commands on an 8mm Exabyte tape drive to find headers and file markers to read specific frames from tape!
