  Different render folders for different projects?

  Posted by Jimmy Brunger on April 5, 2007 at 2:09 pm

  Hi guys,

  I’ve noticed recently as I’ve been chopping and changing between different projects quite alot that AE seems to defualt to the last location you rendered to, regardless of the project..I need to keep all my work separate, as it’s for many different clients, so its organised into client folders and then diff job folders within those.

  Is there anyway I can setup AE to remember the folder I am using for a particular project?

  Thanks muchly.

  Not that I know of, but it would be a great feature. Hopefully in AE CS3.

  I think it’s a preference that engages when you start up the app. So …. no, as far as I know.

  But yes, it would be a good feature. Worth requesting on the Adobe site.

  Oh Bum! I was hoping someone would have a clever little work around… 🙁

  It was a bit annoying in Photoshop for opening and saving to diff folders – but I’ve started opening files directly from an open Explorer window with my source files and PSD compositions in and then saving out my mattes/faces onto my RAID drive within PS…not ideal for multiple jopbs at once, but more workable.

  With AE and the whole different projects thing though, I just thought it would be a bit more sophisticated. Booo.

  Thanks anyway guys, I will certainly put it to Adobe!
