Getting Tick count from a sequence only comes back incorrectly

[JonD0t]

For some reason when i run this it will say that the Tempseq is 3 mins long, when the clip i am importing is 11 seconds long. The tick count is correct only when i recreate an error (See below) after the code that is supposed to grab the tick count.

Error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\twitchclipadobe\twitchcliptoreel.py", line 97, in tempSeqEndSeconds = tempSeqEndticks.seconds AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'seconds'

import pymiere as pym

print(rawClipPath)

Premiere version: 23.0 Python: 3.10.8

After much testing and amateur level coding, Premiere seems to change the order in which it holds the sequences. so I created a means to find the index values for each time the project is opened.

Hello,

Here is how I find sequences in PPro, with a function to create dictionaries.

proj = pymiere.objects.app.project
ALL_SEQ = {}

#this is a function to create a dictionary of all sequences in the project.
def sequences_to_dict():
    for s in range(0, proj.sequences.__len__()):
        ALL_SEQ[proj.sequences[s].name] = proj.sequences[s].sequenceID
    return ALL_SEQ

#runs the function
sequences_to_dict()

#this will give you the sequenceID of all your sequences
print(ALL_SEQ)

#you can specify the seq you're looking for like this
print(ALL_SEQ['Temp Seq'])

#this is how you can render something based on the name in the bin
renderSeqName = (ALL_SEQ['Temp Seq']) 

then I can call sequences by name no matter where they are.
