Why is path to frames not populated by default when publishing a photoshop file?

Pipeline Integrations

Great question, and welcome to the forums!

I’m not actually sure on what the reason for the difference in behavior is here. I am guessing it is by design, as the psd is not a movie nor has it frames, so filling in these fields doesn’t make conceptual sense.

However if you would like the publisher to fill in these fields, you can take over the photoshop engine’s publish hook, and add in a line here:

Something like:

    "sg_path_to_frames": path,

If you are not sure how to take over a publish hook here are a couple of examples:
