Set StartTime of filler, or sequence?

[MartinSRimsbo]

Thanks a lot!
Following your instructions I added:

tc_slot = mob.create_empty_sequence_slot(25, media_kind='timecode')
tc = f.create.Timecode(25, False)
tc.start = 90000
tc_slot.segment.components.append(tc)

And it Worked like a charm.
Best

Add another slot with a single TimeCode component to the compositionMob. Timecode.start should be the set to the start time you want.

👍 no problem.

I just tried this above, I'm glad I found this discussion, however for some reason it doesn't seem to work for me.
Duration is set to 1 sec, but the 10 hour starttime doesn't seem to work, it defaults to 1 hour.

Any suggestions, please?
This is driving me crazy, I even asked chatgpt, no luck :)

comp_mob= f.create.CompositionMob()
comp_mob.usage = "Usage_TopLevel"
comp_mob.name = "whatever"

tc = f.create.Timecode(timecode_fps, True)
tc.start = 900000  # 10 hours
tc.length = timecode_fps  # 1 sec

timeline_slotV = comp_mob.create_timeline_slot(edit_rate)
timeline_slotV["PhysicalTrackNumber"].value = 1
sequenceV = f.create.Sequence(media_kind="picture")
timeline_slotV.segment = sequenceV
comp_fillV = f.create.Filler("picture", 0)
sequenceV.components.append(comp_fillV)
sequenceV.components.append(tc)

f.content.mobs.append(comp_mob)

Also when using only this code

tc_slot = mob.create_empty_sequence_slot(25, media_kind='timecode')
tc = f.create.Timecode(25, False)
tc.start = 90000
tc.length = 25
tc_slot.segment.components.append(tc)

I get a nice timeline starting at 10 hours with the duration of 1 sec, but when checking it in the bin, it says 0 dur and 0 start tc
