Node Methods
Do not use unless you are sure of what you are doing, as the following methods touch underlying data structures directly. Corruption of your project can occur. The idString is crucial to identifying the function or module. An empty string refers to objects at the project level, a shot Id refers to objects within that shot, the panelId refers to objects within the panel. Thus, sound columns, and the project read live at the project level. The read representing the shot, it's camera and camera peg live within the shot. The reads representing the layers live within the panel. All node names should be preceded by "Top/".The names are TopLayer, Camera, Camera-Peg, and the layer names. No examples are provided, however these methods are similar to the Harmony column and node interfaces.

Detailed Description

This interface is used to access the shot cameras or the panel layers, and add or remove motion to them.

The following examples are provided:

 function AddingLayerMotion()
 {
    var mm = new MotionManager();
    var fm = new FunctionManager();
    // retrieve the second panel in the project
    var sb = new StoryboardManager();
    var panelId = sb.panelInProject( 1);
    // add 3 keyframes to the first layer in the panel
    mm.addLayerKeyFrame(panelId, 0, 1);
    mm.addLayerKeyFrame(panelId, 0, 10);
    mm.addLayerKeyFrame(panelId,0, 20);
    // Get the function representing the motion path
    var path3d = mm.linkedLayerFunction( panelId,0, "offset.attr3dpath" );
    // Adjust the motion path points ( using the Function Manager )
    fm.setPointPath3d( panelId, path3d, 0, 10.0, 10.0, 0.0, 0.0,0.0,0.0);
    fm.setPointPath3d( panelId, path3d, 1, -10.0, -10.0, 0.0, 0.0,0.0,0.0);
    fm.setPointPath3d( panelId, path3d, 2, 10.0, 10.0, 0.0, 0.0,0.0,0.0); 
   // mm.removeLayerKeyFrame( panelId, 0, 11);
   // mm.clearLayerMotion( panelId, 0 );
}
