Ingestion

Ingestion Process

How It Works

1. The ingestion script will detect all video files with .MP4 format in the list of folders provided above.
2. For each video file found, it will split the file name into its parts — HL, SC0010, SH0010 — and use that data to create new entries on DATABASE and KITSU.
   If the scene or shot number already exists, it will be skipped and next video file will be processed.
3. Once new entries are created successfully, the animatics file will be uploaded to KITSU to the animatic2d column and the task status will be set to INPUT .
4. Folder structure is created on the server path using RCLONE by copying the empty folders from Z:/HRLM_Server/sequences/Sc0000/HRLM_Sc0010_Sh0010 to the location of the shot that is being ingested.
5. The animatics video and audio file is copied to the 00_Inputs/Animatics folder of each task.
6. For certain tasks, the template work file is copied from Z:/HRLM_Server/sequences/Sc0000/HRLM_Sc0010_Sh0010 to the location of the shot task that is being ingested.
   The list of template files can be found in the ingestion script as follows :
