Is there a way to set up presets for pin values?

 

I'm wondering how would be best to achieve this. Essentially I want to be able to store and recall data for a given set of pins (on a collector or compound). 


An example use case would be greenscreen key settings for a number of different setups, or colour correction data for different shots within a scene.


I can picture how I would do it by having duplicates of the inputs set up and indexing between them but I'm hoping there is a more elegant solution.


I'm exploring using the set collection nodes and exporting to XML but I've yet to make any progress there.


It would also be useful to then copy and paste "data sets" between the presets. I can see the functionality built into the camera mover but I don't see it as a standalone feature for other data for some reason.


Has anyone else explored this at all?

Hi,

My first thought is using Collections, too. I recommend following that path. Ask anything if something is not clear about collections.

Camera Movers Copy/Paste is a very specific function for that module, and cannot be generalized.
My suggestion is the same as above. Use a temporary XML/JSON file as the "clipboard". (Unfortunately there is no module for sending data to the actual clipboard.)
