Create video essence from image sequence

[timlehr]

Hi Mark,

I'm currently looking into creating into creating a mob with a video essence from a TIFF file sequence. From what I can gather, with the current functionality of pyaaf2, I'd have to create a DNX video file from the image sequence first and then feed that to pyaaf2? Would it be beneficial to add support for generating a video essence from a sequence of images?

Cheers!

I've never seen an AAF with embed tiff images in it before. There is a essence descriptor but I've never seen anything actually use it. Do you have a sample? What app can use them? It shouldn't be too hard to add the feature, depending on how applications requires it to be structured. You can really embed any data you want into a AAF file if you use the lower CFB level api.
