Import multiple files

Jun 30, 2012 7:37 AM

Tags: #multiple #clips #importer_api

I have made plugin based on custom importer, now I can import media files using my custom GUI.

But now I'm little bit confused, is it possible to import multiple  files using SDK ?

I mean:

1. Chose several clips in my GUI.

2. Click ok and files will be added to project.

Thanks.

    You can do this by returning imIterateStreams from getinfo to report multiple clips

    Thanks for answer Steve.

    But, how can it help me ?

    I have found in docs:

     

    imGetInfo8

    param1 - imFileAccessRec8 *

    param2 - imFileInfoRec8 *

    Describe a clip, or a single stream of a clip if the clip has multiple streams. Called when a specific

    file is instantiated. Importer checks file validity, optionally allocates file instance data, and de-

    scribes the properties of the file being imported by populating the imFileInfoRec8.


    and

     

    imIterateStreams

    Return from imGetInfo8 to indicate that there are more streams

    to describe.  Premiere will send imGetInfo8 for the next stream.

     

    So, as I understand, imIterateStreams  describes just media streams of single file,

    but it has no relation how to specify multiple files during import.

     

    Now I'm using imGetPrefs8 selector to specify file path.

     

    Please explain me where I'm wrong.

    Thanks,

    Can you go into more detail on how your importer works?
