How to access current cook value of an attribute in Python? April 27, 2024, 5:04 a.m.

@tpetrick Amazing! Thank you! Just a small correction: the actual function is pdg.workItem() (lowercase 'w'), I got stuck for a while before I realized. Thanks for linking the docs.

For every solution with a spare parameter there's always another secret one that's much cleaner.

How to access current cook value of an attribute in Python? April 25, 2024, 4:14 a.m.

I would like to check current cook value of a wedge attribute in a Python expression.

The same way that we use `@pdg_index` in string parameters etc. but this time we'd like to grab that value in a script. How can I do that?

ImageMagick mosaic from different length videos April 7, 2024, 5:20 a.m.

When you plug two image sequences of different lengths into ImageMagick it will produce an expected nice looking mosaic, but once the shorter sequence ends, it instantly stretches the remaining sequence to fill the screen.

My guess is that we probably need to somehow generate the missing frames for the shorter video (either by creating black images, or freezing the last frame).

But I'm clueless on how that could be done. I will appreciate any tips to solving this puzzle.

I extract image sequences from mp4 files.
