A Python library for parsing frame ranges and file sequences commonly used in VFX and Animation applications.
Support for:
- Standard: 1-10
- Comma Delimited: 1-10,10-20
- Chunked: 1-100x5
- Filled: 1-100y5
- Staggered: 1-100:3 (1-100x3, 1-100x2, 1-100)
- Negative frame numbers: -10-100
- Subframes: 1001-1066x0.25, 1001.5-1066.0x0.5
- Padding: #=4 padded, @=1 padded
- Alternate padding: #=1 padded, @=1 padded
- Printf Syntax Padding: %04d=4 padded, %01d=1 padded
- Houdini Syntax Padding: $F4=4 padding, $F=1 padded
- Udim Syntax Padding: or %(UDIM)d, always 4 padded
A FrameSet wraps a sequence of frames in a list container.
fs = fileseq.FrameSet("1-5")
for f in fs:
print(f)>>> fs = fileseq.FrameSet("1-100:8")
>>> fs[0] # First frame.
1
>>> fs[-1] # Last frame.
98>>> fs = fileseq.FrameSet("1-100:8")
>>> fs.start() # First frame.
1
>>> fs.end() # Last frame.

- For this method, it doesn't matter how many instances of the padding character you use, it will still find your sequence.
Yes:
fileseq.findSequenceOnDisk('/foo/[email protected]')Yes:
fileseq.findSequenceOnDisk('/foo/bar.@@@@@.exr')No:
fileseq.findSequenceOnDisk('/foo/bar.*.exr')- To find subframe sequences you must explicitly opt-in
fileseq.findSequenceOnDisk('/foo/bar.#.#.exr', allow_subframes=True)While there may be many custom types of sequence patterns that could be considered a valid pipeline format, this library has taken an opinionated stance on acceptable sequence formats. This is done to keep parsing rules manageable and to not over-complicate the logic. The parsing rules can and have been expanded in some ways over time, such as adding support for new padding format patterns like printf "%04d", houdini "$F" and "". But other rules remain the same, such as expecting a frame number component to be found just before the file extension component.
