# pycmx
|
|
|
|
The `pycmx` package provides a basic interface for parsing a CMX 3600 EDL and its most most common variations.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
* The major variations of the CMX3600, the standard, "File32" and "File128"
|
|
formats are automatically detected and properly read.
|
|
* Preserves relationship between events and individual edits/clips.
|
|
* Remark or comment fields with common recognized forms are read and
|
|
available to the client, including clip name and source file data.
|
|
* Symbolically decodes transitions and audio channels.
|
|
* Does not parse or validate timecodes, does not enforce framerates, does not
|
|
parameterize timecode or framerates in any way. This makes the parser more
|
|
tolerant of EDLs with mixed rates.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
>>> import pycmx
|
|
>>> edl = pycmx.parse_cmx3600("tests/edls/TEST.edl")
|
|
>>> edl.title
|
|
'DC7 R1_v8.2'
|
|
>>> events = list( edl.events ) # the event list is a generator
|
|
>>> len(events)
|
|
120
|
|
>>> events[43].number
|
|
'044'
|
|
>>> events[43].edits[0].source_in # events contain multiple
|
|
# edits to preserve A/B dissolves
|
|
# and key backgrounds
|
|
'00:00:00:00'
|
|
>>> events[43].edits[0].transition.cut
|
|
True
|
|
>>> events[43].edits[0].record_out
|
|
'01:10:21:10'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Should I Use This?
|
|
|
|
At this time, this is (at best) alpha software and the interface will be
|
|
changing often. It may be fun to experiment with but it is not suitable
|
|
at this time for production code.

faster! Please reach out or file a ticket!
