Accessing Project Settings With Python

[brueggz]

Hi, how to access project settings like fps or startFrame?
I know, that those informations are stored in nuke.Root(), but it seems to be just a text with no variables.

Thanks.

you use nuke.Root() like a node object, so the usual knob methods apply:

CODE
nuke.Root().knob('fps').value()
nuke.Root().knob('fps').setValue()

or shorter:
CODE
nuke.Root()['fps'].value()
nuke.Root()['fps'].setValue()

the tooltips will tell you which knob names to use or you can find them in the dictionary returned by the kkobs() method:
nuke.Root().knobs().keys()

Thanks, that works... except for the format... the value it gives me
How to change the format to
a) standard format, like PAL 16:9 ?
by userdefined values (not the standard formats)?

[user_deleted]

newFormat = nuke.addFormat('720 432 1.09 PAL_16:9')
nuke.Root()['format'].setValue(newFormat)

[user_deleted]

that was a bad example. you should use a unique for the format name

Thanks, and I found out, that if you give the exact parameters of a standard format, it won't create a new one, but use the wanted standard format.
