Render Templates
  • I love the idea of this - but I think it would be more helpful if you could assign different combinations of renders setting/output modules to the different output folders so that you didn't have to change things whenever you wanted to switch output types.

    For example lets say I have 3 different folders I like to use:
    Rough folder - has output module set to quicktime and render settings set to half size with no motion blur
    Better folder - has output module set to quicktime and render setting set to full size with no motion blur
    Best folder - has output module set to TIFF with alpha and full size with motion blur

    This way I could just click on the destination/type I wanted.
  • Hey Chris, interesting, thanks.
    I intentionally didn't give any options for the settings to keep the principal simple to suit people for the most part. I think there could be room say for a draft 'R' for render button beside the render buttons. Perhaps that render could do half res without MB etc, that would be a neat way to do it, without sticking every option that is in the render queue into the script...
  • Hey Alan, 

    Very nice script - thanks for making.  I sent you a personal email about a possible bug with "Project Template Folder" and the number of directories the project is sitting under.  Hope all is well.
  • Enjoying using this app and wondering why Adobe didn't build After Effects like this in the first place.   A really common task simplified with noticeable time savings, along with a helpful and communicative author.  Thanks Alan!

    Hey Jules, sorry about the delay... would you mind raising a support ticket...  Its not clear - is it the first message or only the second error message that is flagging? We can sort it out once ticket is created.  Thank you.
