Inspecting Resolve Objects with Lua

Hi,
Similair to a topic relating to Python viewtopic.php?f=21&t=79200 , I couldn't find equivalent info for Lua, so

BM scripting documentation states that:
...resolve object... can be inspected for further scriptable properties - using table iteration and "getmetatable" in Lua... each object is inspectable for properties and functions...

so I understand this is what is implied:

Code: Select all

resolve = Resolve()
for key,value in pairs(getmetatable(resolve)) do
    print(key, " ", value)
end


however that returns a table like this:

__call function: 0x01d65e6de4b8
__add function: 0x01d65e6de730
__sub function: 0x01d65e6de768
__mul function: 0x01d65e6de630
__div function: 0x01d65e6de668
__pow function: 0x01d65e6de6a0
__unm function: 0x01d65e6de928
__tostring function: 0x01d65e6de558
_typename function: 0x01d65e6de480
_istypeof function: 0x01d65e6de520
__index function: 0x01d65e6de590
__newindex function: 0x01d65e6de6f8
__gc function: 0x01d65e6de5f8
__eq function: 0x01d65e6de960
__lt function: 0x01d65e6de998
__le function: 0x01d65e6de9d0
__concat function: 0x01d65e6dea08

And the result is the same no matter what object is inspected

What would be the correct syntax to explore the objects for usable propetries and functions?

I don't remember the syntax off the top of my head, but I collected everything I could possibly extract from Resolve in the Class Browser script.

Unfortunately the Resolve objects aren't documented as the Fusion objects are. The Resolve objects can be inspected but they don't contain any additional information. I have asked that they document the Resolve objects in the same way as the Fusion objects (instead of the readme.txt file) but so far that hasn't happened. In fact they later removed some of the documentation from the Fairlight object. I guess it wasn't supposed to be public.

That's awesome, super useful script, and thanks for pointing me to it!

Still dissapointingly few functions exposed through API it seems. Even in Premiere Pro that has not the greatest support for scripting I could do more scripting with the items on the timeline. But at least with this Class Browser I can be sure there's nothing left to dig for. Thanks again!
