USDSTITCHCLIPS(1)

🌸 NAME 🌸

usdstitchclips — manual page for usdstitchclips 26.11.1. hi bestie, welcome to the usdstitchclips(1) page 💅✨

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so the whole point: stitch multiple usd file(s) together into one using value clips. the usage is literally this:

usage: usdstitchclips [-h] [-o OUT] [-c CLIPPATH] [-s STARTTIMECODE]

[-r STRIDE] [-e ENDTIMECODE] [-t] [-p TEMPLATEPATH]
       [--clipSet CLIPSET] [--activeOffset ACTIVEOFFSET]
       [--interpolateMissingClipValues] [-n] usdFiles [usdFiles ...]

an example command is:

usdstitchclips --out result.usd --clipPath /World/fx/Particles_Splash
clip1.usd clip2.usd

this will produce two files, a result.topology.usd and a result.usd. no cap, those two exact names 💖

🧸 positional arguments 🧸

• usdFiles — the usd file(s) you're stitching together, bestie 🫶

💅 options 💅

• -h, --help — show this help message and exit. iconic, honestly.
• -o, --out OUT — specify the filename for the top-level result file, which also serves as base-name for the topology and manifest files.
• -c, --clipPath CLIPPATH — specify a prim path at which to begin stitching clip data.
• -s, --startTimeCode STARTTIMECODE — specify the time at which the clips will become active. yes, the start of the clip era ✨
• -r, --stride STRIDE — specify a stride for the numeric component of filenames for template metadata.
• -e, --endTimeCode ENDTIMECODE — specify the time at which the clips will cease being active. the end, periodt.
• -t, --templateMetadata — author template clip metadata in the root layer.
• -p, --templatePath TEMPLATEPATH — specify a template asset path to author.
• --clipSet CLIPSET — specify a named clipSet in which to author clip metadata, so that multiple sets of clips can be applied on the same prim. lowkey useful 👑
• --activeOffset ACTIVEOFFSET — specify an offset for template-based clips, offsetting the frame number of each clip file.
• --interpolateMissingClipValues — specify whether values for clips without authored samples are interpolated from surrounding clips if no default value is authored in any clip.
• -n, --noComment — do not write a comment specifying how the usd file was generated.
