Hi All,
is there a way to import a file sequence (BMCC .dng) via python into a specific folder in the media pool?

I tried this via terminal:

import DaVinciResolveScript as dvr
resolve = dvr.scriptapp('Resolve')
pm = resolve.GetProjectManager()
proj = pm.GetCurrentProject()
tl = proj.GetCurrentTimeline()
mp = proj.GetMediaPool()
ms = resolve.GetMediaStorage()
ms.AddItemsToMediaPool('/Volumes/RAID/DATA/MEDIA/TWO_CHAIRS/DAY02/FW_A01_2020-12-08_2051_C0000/FW_A01_2020-12-08_2051_C0000_[000000-032898].dng')

... and that didn't work of course

DNG Folder File Structure is:
FW_A01_2020-12-01_2000_C0021_000000
FW_A01_2020-12-01_2000_C0021_000001
FW_A01_2020-12-01_2000_C0021_000002
FW_A01_2020-12-01_2000_C0021_000003
...etc.

Thank you so much!

Try W_A01_2020-12-08_2051_C0000_000000.dng for the file name.

You need to run SetCurrentFolder() on the mp instance to set the current bin. AddItemsToMediaPool() will import to the current bin, whether that bin is set manually in the UI or by the script.

You also don't need to make an instance of the timeline in this case. It doesn't do anything right now.

FW_A01_2020-12-08_2051_C0000_000000.dng as the filename did the trick . Thank you!

Hi Igor, could you take a look at this post if you get a chance?
I tried the DVR API documentation on a small issue I have and
couldn't find anything on that topic. I thought you might be able
to guide me in the right direction.
