# avbutils

This is a sort of wrapper around the amazing [`pyavb`](https://github.com/markreidvfx/pyavb) library. Essentially, [`pyavb`](https://github.com/markreidvfx/pyavb) provides the capability to programmatically interact with Avid bins, allowing you to read and write them directly. `avbutils`, in turn, contextualizes these capabilities, making them more accessible and intuitive for assistant editors and the like (such as myself).

## Example Programs

### get_trts.py

Found at: `examples/get_trt.py`. A command-line program to calculate the TRT directly from your Avid project's Reel bins, without requiring any EDL/AAF/XML exports.

This assumes a feature is divided into Reel bins, and will select the most recent version of each Reel from each Reel Bin.

Usage for the example command-line program:

```bash
python3 examples/get_trts.py /path/to/binsfolder/ [--head 8:00] [--tail 3:23] [--trt-adjust 0:00]
```
