Prepare Edit
Sync your Edit with Kitsu Server
Most productions begin with a previz or storyboard step, showing the overall direction and plan for the production. By inputting this as video strip(s) into a VSE file we can automatically create the corresponding shots on the Kitsu Server directly from the VSE.
- If not already ensure your project settings are setup Blender Kitsu Add-On Preferences
- At the directory
your_project_name/svn/edit
create a new "Video Editing" File. - Populate your new edit file with your previz video strips
- With your first strip selected, in the Blender Kitsu side panel of the VSE select "Create Metadata Strip from Active Shot” to create a new Metadata Strip.
- Next select “Init Active Shot”, and enter the Shot and Sequence names you would like to submit to Kitsu.
- Finally select the “Submit New Shot Button” to submit this new Shot to the Kitsu Server.
Repeat steps 4-6 for each shot in the sequence. Multiple Metadata Strips can be made out of a single previz strip if required, adjust the shot’s timing by simply trimming the Metadata Strip in the timeline. Below is an example of a previz sequence with Metadata Strips.
