unreal.ImgMediaSource

class unreal.ImgMediaSource(outer: Optional[Object] = None, name: Union[Name, str] = 'None')

Bases: BaseMediaSource

Media source for EXR image sequences.

Image sequence media sources point to a directory that contains a series of image files in which each image represents a single frame of the sequence. BMP, EXR, PNG and JPG images are currently supported. EXR image sequences are optimized for performance. The first frame of an image sequence is used to determine the image dimensions (all formats) and frame rate (EXR only).

The image sequence directory may contain sub-directories, which are called ‘proxies’. Proxies can be used to provide alternative media for playback during development and testing of a game. One common scenario is the use of low resolution versions of image sequence media on computers that are too slow or don’t have enough storage to play the original high-res media.

C++ Source:

  • Plugin: ImgMedia

  • Module: ImgMedia

  • File: ImgMediaSource.h

Editor Properties: (see get_editor_property/set_editor_property)

  • fill_gaps_in_sequence (bool): [Read-Write] Fill Gaps in Sequence: If true, then any gaps in the sequence will be filled with blank frames.

  • frame_rate_override (FrameRate): [Read-Write] Frame Rate Override: Overrides the default frame rate stored in the image files (0/0 = do not override).

  • platform_player_names (Map[str, Name]): [Read-Write] Platform Player Names: Override native media player plug-ins per platform (Empty = find one automatically).

  • proxy_override (str): [Read-Write] Proxy Override: Name of the proxy directory to use.

  • sequence_path (DirectoryPath): [Read-Write] Sequence Path: The directory that contains the image sequence files.

    • Relative paths will be with respect to the current Project directory.

    • You may use {engine_dir} or {project_dir} tokens.

  • sequence_proxy (ImgMediaSourceCustomizationSequenceProxy): [Read-Write] Sequence Proxy: This is only used so we can customize editing of SequencePath.
