pybinlock
binlock is a python package for programmatically reading and writing Avid bin lock (.lck) files in
multi-user Avid Media Composer projects.
[!WARNING] While the
.lcklock file format is a very simple one, it is officially undocumented. Use this library at your own risk -- I assume no responsibility for any damage to your project, loss of data, or underwhelming box office performance.
Interesting Uses
- Permanently locking bins
- Temporarily locking bins while programmatically reading/writing to them
- Custom lock names for displaying short messages, such as why the bin is locked
- Removing "stale" locks
Installation
Install the pybinlock package from PyPI using pip:
pip install pybinlock
Or clone from this repo:
git clone https://github.com/mjiggidy/pybinlock.git
cd pybinlock
pip install .
Now you can import binlock!
from binlock import BinLock
with BinLock("Do Not Touch").hold_bin("Reel 1.avb") as my_lock:
print(f"Bin is now locked as {my_lock.name}")
...
print("Bin is now unlocked!")
