Issue

When working on a sequence in a Kitsu project, the thumbnail is always rendered in Blender from the first frame of the Sequence or Shot.

  • Needs more investigation.

Feedback

Thumbnail: have a script to make it possible and easy to choose another frame than the 1st to upload as a thumbnail (Beau)

Can we use current position of time cursor to set time point thumbnail? (in the case when playblast is generated from single strip)

Ok after some investiagtion I think the best solution to this is to upload two revisions, one image with the desired thumbnail then a second with the intended playblast.

Need to check with @fsiddi if this is acceptable, confirming with the CGWire team if there isn't a better way. WIll follow up on this soon.

Got some feedback from the guys at CG Wire, they have a better method of doing this, so we dont need to do this double revision workaround. Newer versions of kitsu will come with a use current frame option when setting the thumbnail. image

The change exists in the Kitsu code but cannot be accessed via gazu at this time. We need to contribute changes to GAZU to support this change before we can implement the change on the addon side.

Here is the relevant code:

I have loaded the GAZU module changes into our blender kitsu addon, and implemented this feature in the following PR
