hello
I am very interested in the above script. What version does it work it? On 2.69 mac I get the following errors we I try to install activate it.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong please?
Thanks
Christopher

Hi torque,

I seem to have a problem with 2nd round of exporting motion tracking data. The first exports fine, but the second comes up with the following error:
http://i.imgur.com/59z7lt0.png

I dont know if this is an issue with pyperclip, or aae-export, but thought I would take a chance and post it here. It seems to me that pyperclip takes over the default clipboard that Windows uses, and is only available to me again when I close and exit Blender!

Im using Windows 7 Professional x64, pyperclip 1.5.6, and Blender 2.7.3

Edit:
Fixed this by removing all pyperclip related functions from the aae-export v1.2 script.

On Line 26 remove ', pyperclip' and
on line 158 remove 'pyperclip.copy(clipboard)'

Pyperclip is somewhat brittle at this point. I think it can handle most unicode, but doesn't handle non-text data (though that isn't an issue in this case). Though from the error message, it looks like it might not necessarily be something in Pyperclip.

Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I use your very nice script with Aegisub, there is only one thing I need to change:
=> positions = "\r\n".join([posline.format(d[0], d[1], (clip.size[1]-d[2])) for d in data]) + "\r\n\r\n"
(Line 100)
If someone need this for subbing with Aegisub.
(in Aegisub is the coordinate of y is reverse)

👍 I publish it on github: https://github.com/Subarashii-no-Fansub/AAE-Export
