Camera Entity issue and Onset Data

Flow Production Tracking
1

Hi Guys,

I’m just starting to set up our Onset data workflow to link Slates and Takes to Scans/shots. I’ve found a thread about using the slates entity which i’ve made visible and they suggested making the camera entity visible too. I’ve done this but it won’t let me view it. I can’t create a page for it as i get a blank error (white box appears saying "ourdomainname.shotgrid.autodesk.com says " and then nothing underneath.) When i try and link cameras to the slates entity it doesn’t appear in the list of options.

Does anyone know the best way to set up Slates and Takes for standard VFX and TV work?

Also - am i right in thinking i need to make a custom entity for takes?

Thanks
Rosie

You could use the Takes (mocap) entity for takes and potentially just rename it.

As for the blank error, did you enable the detail page for the camera entity under the site entity settings?

Yeap i’ve enabled the detail page but it still doesn’t show up.
I think we’re going to use the Slates entity and adapt it to our needs.
Thanks so much for replying

Hi Rosie,

For what it’s worth, I just had exactly this same issue and was struggling to find any documentation on why.

For me, the answer was that Camera as an entity was Hidden in my Project Tracking Settings. Restoring to my project solved the problem. Hope this helps anyone else with the same issue.

Thank you, Ricardo.

Depending on what you want to track you can create a new Single or Multi entity field on the Slate entity and link that to the Camera entity.

Use a Single Entity field if your slate should only ever link to 1 camera, use multi entity if a slate can link to multiple camera’s (unlikely).
