Gateway Clip Description >

# path

The <path> element is the path to the media. The path can be relative or absolute. You can also use range brackets for file sequences.

    /dir/clip.mp4
    /dir/fileSequence/dpxSequence.[0-99].dpx

NoteRegarding files sequence and padding in the <path> element: The Gateway reconstructs a sequence as indicated by brackets. dpxSequence.[1-99].dpx indicates to the Gateway there are 99 dpx files named dpxSequence.1.dpx to dpxSequence.99.dpx. It can also manage padding. dpxSequence.[001-099].dpx is read as a sequence of 99 files named dpxSequence.001.dpx to dpxSequence.099.dpx.

In a Smoke and Flame context, use the subFeedId attribute to pair up paths and create stereo spans.

    <path subFeedId="Left">/dir/stereoClip.Left.[0-99].dpx</path>
    <path subFeedId="Right">/dir/stereoClip.Right.[0-99].dpx</path>

The actual use and interpretation of the subFeedId attribute is left to the client application.
