Hello,
just for your information: you find more about CTracks in the CTrack Manual and more information on DescIDs and DescLevels in the DescID Manual.

Hi Mafster, thanks for following up.
The documentation here properly indicates that passing no parameter to Wait() is passing True.
Long story short, this value is required in order to avoid Cinema being stuck on waiting for the thread to end.
Hoping this helps in solving the issue, give best.

Hey @mrittman, i cant find the id names in documentation but i think CID_SOUND_START would be the timecode of when the audio starts (notice you are assigning a BaseTime object to it) CID_SOUND_NAME which i'm using is the audio file path.
My application is taking the audio file path and the image sequence output (as defined by the render output settings) and combining them via a subprocess using ffmpeg. If there was a way i could do it straight through c4d id prefer that! Mainly cos ffmpeg is a mission! especially when you need to shift/delay audio and what not.
Hi mafster, thanks for reaching out us.
With regard to accessing images being available in the Picture Viewer, I'm sorry to confirm that there is no PictureViewer-related classes/functions exposed in the API. This is valid for both C++ and Python API.
Best, Riccardo
