          }
    },

    "timeline_frame_start": 90000
  },
  "CollectHierarchyInstance": {
    "shot_rename_template": "{project[code]}_{_sequence_}_{_shot_}",
    "shot_rename_search_patterns": {
      "_sequence_": "(\\d{4})(?=_\\d{4})",
      "_shot_": "(\\d{4})(?!_\\d{4})"
    },
    "shot_add_hierarchy": {
          "parents_path": "{project}/{folder}/{sequence}",
          "parents": {
              "project": "{project[name]}",
              "sequence": "{_sequence_}",
              "folder": "shots"

We have a conflict that needs to be sorted. And I have a comment about the tasks.

[mkolar]

Could we define tasks simply with a dictionary? It would be a lot more flexible and actually simpler to work with.

{
"task_name": "task_type",
"animation_char": "Animation",
"smoke": "FX,
...
}
