Hello,

I am using a multipart file to combine different aovs and it works fine.
In my header I can see my metadata for each part, but if I read my file in
Nuke I can see only my part 0 so I tried to move some metadatas from other
parts in part 0 but if I do that my file is not read correctly, so can I do
that? and if it is possible when I move some metadatas from an other part
should I move also the channels?

Thanks

Hi Anne-Gaelle

Did you get a reply from anyone? It might help to know which attributes
you moved, how you moved the attributes, and what the error was. It
sounds like attributes that are critical to interpreting the file have
been moved, such as 'channels', 'compression', 'dataWindow'. This would
cause read errors on the file.

Many tools will assume that all metadata not critical to reading the
file is stored only in part 0, and this is a useful convention to follow.

Peter
