How to set Thumbnail and ftrackreview-mp4 on a Task?

[tweak-wtf]

Hey folks,

I just started out working with ftrack so please don't judge for my probably noobish question.

I'm trying to set a thumbnail and ftrackreview-mp4 on a task. I already managed to upload an .mp4 and thumbnail to my assetversions but now I want to apply these files to the linked task aswell.

I was trying to create a new component on a task but I will receive an error telling me that I can't create components on a Task.

Also I have read about setting the Asset Types in the Workflow section of the ftrack settings but I'm kinda lost in that overview since I can't really understand what this Asset Type section is actually doing.

Oh and I have to tell you that unfortunately I'm on ftrack_api v1.3.3 and probably not allowed to bump up the version 😕 

 

Any help is much appreciated!

Nevermind... figuered it out. Wasn't aware that ftrack_api is storing some querying in a local cache

Hi,

Thanks for the update.
Regarding tasks:
Task is the leaf object, so no object can be created on tasks.
