Thanks for the awesome script! Has there been any development on the subfolder issue? This feature would be a godsend!

is it possible for you to send me a copy of the project (no footage needed)? if so, you can send it to me at redefinery@hotmail.com . thanks!

The in point would be perfect. I just to be able to hand the clips back to the editor with an indication as to where they should be placed. Could use plural eyes but this would be simpler in some respects especially if the editor doesn’t have PE

Thanks

Thanks

and thanks for the note about multiple instances of tokens. i really should just make it a global replace (so it replaces as many tokens as possible) instead of the single instance one now.

if you use variable [layerNumber] twice like my example above you have to add a little into the script

find something like this inside the script:

outFName = outName;
outFName = outFName.replace(“[layerName]“, layer.name);
outFName = outFName.replace(“[layerNumber]“, layer.index);
om.file = new File(outFolder + “/” + outFName);

then duplicate this line:
outFName = outFName.replace(“[layerNumber]“, layer.index);

the final script will be like this:

outFName = outName;
outFName = outFName.replace(“[layerName]“, layer.name);
outFName = outFName.replace(“[layerNumber]“, layer.index);
outFName = outFName.replace(“[layerNumber]“, layer.index);
om.file = new File(outFolder + “/” + outFName);

the reason you have to add that line is the “replace” command cannot detect and replace more than one [layerNumber] variable if you add that variable more than one into “Output Name Template”. it will only replace the first one.

note:
you have to do the same for all variables if you use them more than one.
the number of duplication is equal to how many you use the variable.

Jeff wish you would have this stuff as a consideration into future version.
Thanks again

1). create each subfolders inside your intended target output folder manually (it is painful to create one by one if you have hundreds or more layers).

2). add “folder name” and backslah “\” just before your intended rendered “file name” template in “Output Name Template” field

example:
The text inside “Output Name Template” field maybe something like this:
shot[layerNumber]\shot[layerNumber]_[layerName].[#####].[fileExtension]

“shot[layerNumber]\” will retarget your output folder into
it will output your rendered layer into subfolder named “shot” followed by layerNumber.
my subfolders name is “shot1″, “shot2″, “shot3″, … , etc. (without quote) those suffix number according to it’s layerNumber variable.

note:
makes sure you already create subfolder inside your target output folder otherwise if subfolder doesn’t exist this will never work.

hope it help

many thanks Jeff your script is great and helpful
wish you can make it possible to create it own layers output subfolders automatically

best regards

because when i chose the option RENDER … it does work and output each layer separately !!!
…
well > sorry then for the email just before…

it s going to be very ok to work this way ! ))
…

maybe the BG RENDER can be put in an update of the script ? if it s technically possible… i don t know…

THANK YOU VERY MUCH AGAIN !!!

sorry if i missed something in the help of the script.
but > with Cs5 >> it does everything fine until the moment i check the render >>>

I have all the layer render together …

let say i have 20 layer to output . each ONLY and Separately… hum.. I follow the help and do a QUEUE ONLY so i can use the GREAT BG RENDER !…

but like i said … i don t get the nice EACH SEPARATE LAYER by it self … but you know the
“final result” of all my layer together on top of each other.

any thought ?

thanks very much !
This could save many hours of ” :@#!ER@IO#$Y()*SF()U@ ” file management ! ))

thanks again ! for all those amazing scripts !!!

no, you’d need a script like this:
