โShot setup JSON File
When you โSend to SynthEyesโ, a description of the clip is written to this JSON file: its name, where to find it, resolution, length, aspect ratio, where to put the sni file, the export file, etc. Much of this information isnโt actually needed, but is included as a cross-check.
The JSON file contains only relative pathnames; they are interpreted to be relative to the folder containing the JSON file. That makes it easy to move the JSON file and Clip folder around on a machine, or from one machine to another if needed.
SynthEyes is told to process this file using an obscure โFlame Initial Startupโ script, which sets up the shot in SynthEyes to conclude the โSend to SynthEyesโ process.
You might notice that a โScript/Flame/Load shot setup from Flameโ script is available on the Script/Flame menu; it is the same file as โFlame Initial Startup,โ although it behaves a little differently when run during startup. If you want to use the JSON file to reimport a shot into SynthEyes, you can use โScript/Flame/Load shot setup from Flameโ to do so; you then specify which JSON file specifies the shot to be opened.
The script is also used by โReopen in SynthEyesโ from the Action menu.
