This is a sort of wrapper around the amazing pyavb library. Essentially, pyavb provides the capability to programmatically interact with Avid bins, allowing you to read and write them directly. avbutils, in turn, contextualizes these capabilities, making them more accessible and intuitive for assistant editors and the like (such as myself).

Found at: examples/get_trt.py. A command-line program to calculate the TRT directly from your Avid project's Reel bins, without requiring any EDL/AAF/XML exports.

This assumes a feature is divided into Reel bins, and will select the most recent version of each Reel from each Reel Bin.

Usage for the example command-line program:

python3 examples/get_trts.py /path/to/binsfolder/ [--head 8:00] [--tail 3:23] [--trt-adjust 0:00]
