Hasta La Motion!

I am trying to set up a simple slate using the text node, and I seem to be having a problem controlling the box and translate parameters. Can’t set them for some reason, although I think the parameters names are right. I got the parameters names with connecting the expression out of the node to another node.

here’s the slate part of the script:

—
nuke.nodes.Text (
name="Slate",
font="/usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf",
yjustify = "center",
#box.main.x = 0,
#box.main.y = 0,
#box.main.r = 2048,
#box.main.t = 1168,
#translate.main.x = 50,
#translate.main.y = -550,
size = 25,
message="shot number"
).setInput(0,nuke.selectedNode())
—

the script basically attaches this to selected node. the commented part is the one that doesn’t work, without it seems to be fine.

any suggestions would be welcomed.

thanks
