I recently got a ticket from one of our users that the FPS indicator in RV doesn’t change when he changes the FPS of a clip using “Image” > “Set Source FPS”.
It seems the FPS indicator of RV only displays the Playback FPS, not the Source FPS, of a clip (please correct me if I’m wrong), but I was thinking I could find some other way to solve the problem, like maybe a new indicator. I see that there is a “fps-changed” event that fires when the Playback FPS is changed, but is there an equivalent event for Source FPS? I would like to avoid just constantly checking if the Source FPS has been changed, and having a proper hook for that would help. Thank you!
Yeah unfortunately that’s a limitation with how RV timeline UI appears. If your view is through sequence/layout/stack, the FPS is conformed to the group and the inputs/outputs are retimed to whatever the group FPS would end up being…
I don’t think there’s a specific FPS event and not really a graceful workaround for it.
What you can try is listen for graph-change-state event and check if the *.group.fps attribute has been changed:
Event: graph-state-change from IPGraph ‘sourceGroup000000_source.group.fps’
And then you can query what that group.fps is and display it in a hud of some sort:
You can also fuddle with the retime node on group node, for some more displaying options:
