hos SplitEXR script not working

PostThu May 17, 2018 9:18 am

Hey. I've installed the SplitEXR plugin from Reactor but I can't get it to work. I select the loader with the exr file and run the script but it's not doing anything. Can anyone help please? Thank you!

Are you using ultra or the one I wrote?
If you use mine, try using the ultra version from Reactor, maybe that one works.

I'm having a hard time debugging Fusion 8 and 9 as they seem to behave different on all workstations we have (a reason why we still are on 7.)

Hi Daniel.

Are you running Fusion 9.02?

Before you run the script, does your EXR image load sucessfully in the Fusion viewer window without showing any errors in the Fusion Console tab?

Are you running the "hos SplitEXR Ultra" script via a Comp script or Tool script approach? What output is shown in the Console when the script it run? Does the script's AskUser dialog appear?

Would you be willing to post a screenshot of the Loader node's Format tab to show the active channels that are present in the EXR image? What tool was used to create the EXR image? Are there any exotic EXR image compression formats in use?

Hi Sven.

If you have any specific Lua script elements that are giving you a hard time with migrating your pipeline tools from Fusion 7 to Fusion 9/Resolve 15 I'd be happy to look them over and provide some tips to make them work again. :)

I am on 9.02 Studio and using the version from reactor (ultra). The loader doesn't give me any errors. The weird thing is, in one comp it actually worked but when I copied and / or imported the exact same footage in a new comp it didn't work anymore. Really weird behavior, especially also even when it worked I always have to zoom the flow view in and out and rectangle select the new splitted invisible nodes before they actually get visible in the flow view. I didn't check the console yet but can do this when I am back at work.

That's the message I get in the console:

"...usion\Reactor\Deploy\Scripts\Comp\hos_SplitEXR_Ultra.lua:326: attempt to index local 'flow' (a nil value)"

As a random question, are you using a dual monitor layout for Fusion with the flow on a 2nd display?

Yes. Is that causing the problem?

That is my best guess at this point. Can you try switching to a layout with the flow on the main monitor and see if that shows a different outcome.

Hi Daniel.

I haven't experience this issue before so I'd need to do some troubleshooting on a multi-monitor Fusion set up to narrow do the options for fixing the problem.

If Fusion is simply using a different internal name for the Flow area's window pointer variable when it is placed on a detached floating window, then potentially a check for a nil variable for the local variable "flow" could be used to get the hos SplitEXR Ultra script to start searching for other Flow window tabs to use for placing the nodes.

I will have to get back to you on this. :)
