MiniCut as new option for FPTR -> Current Source Prefs -> New Session menu

A general question here - I’m guessing I would need to download the FPTR library for OpenRV, and modify the code to insert a MiniCut option? For a given source, that is a Version tracked in SG, I’d like to open a new session of RV which does the following:

  • Grab the Version’s parent entity if it’s a Shot
  • Find the latest Cut that the Shot appears in - could be for a Sequence, Episode, or Reel, will adapt depending on show requirements
  • Grab the CutItem objects that are -3/+3 from the current shot in cut order
  • Build a new Sequence in the new RV Session with the 3 previous and 3 subsequent shots, ideally using SG versions, so that you can pick Frames, Movie, or Streaming in the UI, and upversion/down version as the user sees fit
  • Can do with paths to movies/frames hard coded if necessary

Anyone done something like this? I don’t suppose there are hooks or ways I can enhance the RV engine without modifying Autodesk code directly?

I’m confused, this is already possible using the Play in Cut function?

@Ricardo_Musch you mean this little guy here on the left of the RV interface, that I should have checked before I posted to the forum?

Sigh. Thanks. I need more coffee. :grinning_face:
