    Hello

    I am thinking, is it possible to get clip START and DURATION from timeline after the start();

    Which means the version for the playable graph.

    In this case the virtual camera clip, The priorities as I highlighted in the picture.




    Thanks!

    The clip information is available in the TimelineClip. For example:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. var timeline = playableDirector.playableAsset as TimelineAsset;
    2. foreach (var track in timeline.GetOutputTracks())
    3. {
    4.      foreach (var clip in track.GetClips())
    5.           Debug.Log(clip.start);
    6.  
    7. }
    The cinemachine information is available on the component, which can be retrieved from the clip/playable director as follows.

    Code (CSharp):
    1. var shot = clip.asset as CinemachineShot;
    2. bool valid = false;
    3. var component = playableDirector.GetReferenceValue(
    4.       shot.VirtualCamera.exposedName, out valid) as CinemachineVirtualCameraBase;

    thank you seant

    Also is it possible to know the current frame on the timeline during runtime?

    As a test the game in the unity engine(not the compiled game) I can see the progress marker moving on the timeline.

    Can I get the script to also know what the current frame is? 屏幕快照 2018-10-05 下午9.39.45.png

    The current time is available on the playable director (PlayableDirector.time). You need to convert it to frames, as the playable system use frames during playback.

    The frame rate can be found on the asset at TimelineAsset.editorSettings.fps.
