Hi everyone,

I'm currently trying to use Python in Resolve and got everything to work so far. Whats not working is creating subfolders in the Media Bin of folders created with python. I already know the function AddSubFolder()
but don't know how to use it, my current status is below. I don't know how to make a subfolder for example "00_Master") as I only get it to work when I call the mediapoolRoot.
But I'm sure there is someone knowing what I'm missing

project = projectManager.GetCurrentProject()
mediapool = project.GetMediaPool()
mediapoolRoot = mediapool.GetRootFolder()
resolve_media_storage = resolve.GetMediaStorage()
#parentFolder = mediapool.GotoParentFolder()
currentFolder = mediapool.GetCurrentFolder()

#Create Folders
mediapool.AddSubFolder(mediapoolRoot, "00_MASTER")
mediapool.AddSubFolder(OpenFolder("00_MASTER"), "Edits")

Thank you! Cheers

Hi,
try this:

Code: Select all

rootFolder = mediapool.GetRootFolder()
currentFolder = mediapool.GetCurrentFolder()

#Create Folders
mediapool.AddSubFolder(rootFolder, "00_MASTER")
mediapool.AddSubFolder(currentFolder, "00_MASTER_2")

mediapool.SetCurrentFolder("00_MASTER")
master00 = mediapool.GetCurrentFolder()
mediapool.AddSubFolder(master00, "edit")



You're amazing, thank you for the fast answer. Sorry for the late reply but it worked like charm!!!

Hey, i think this python thing is really interesting. I have almost zero knowledge about coding in general, but i'm about to dive into it (for other purposes then editing mainly). just a question out of curiousity. maybe i'm thinking this all wrong. But.. does the python environment in resolve allow one to theoretically build something like a hardware panel that controls various editing/audio-related operations like adjusting the audio gain, setting audio keyframes, on specific audio-tracks, with all kinds of buttons like knobs, faders, keys, etc? i can imagine something in theory that would fit my needs perfectly.

Some of what your asking is still not supported in the API.
Check the documentation.
Here is an easy to read doc:

Were you able to get the resolve object?
Can you share your code?

How do I check if a folder name 'foe' already exists?

Hey there, I made it work meantime



In terms of code let me know what you need and how I can help
