[Avid-L2] Re: Resolve 9 conforming strings explained, maybe? <-- by scott freeman

 

So these command strings are in a format unique to Resolve if I read this correctly. Sounds like they are listed in the manual. Are these types of string commands in some sort of syntax that is more universal than just Resolve. I know I've seen "wild card" symbols in various command line programming so it sounds like these codes for Resolve share a similar structure but that's really me just guessing out loud.
