AVX Parameter - Info

[maptz]

Hi Mark,

I am using pyaaf2 to help automate imports in Avid Media Composer. I'm trying to generate sequences that contain Avid Subcap effects.

These are defined within OperationGroups with Parameters. The Subcap text is stored for instance in a property_entry called Caption. This looks to be some kind of structure. All I've managed to parse really is that from byte 53 there's a length int encoded in the bytes, followed by an ASCII encoded string (length defined by the previous bytes).

I don't see anywhere in PYAAF2 to decode this, but am I missing it?

If not, do you know anything about how these AVX parameters are defined in an AAF file?

Plugins can have private binary blobs of binary data as parameters. You will probably need to reverse what all the bytes in the blob represent. Feel free to document it here if figure it out.

Has anyone figured out this yet or have any information from docs for AVX that might be useful ?
