script something like this?

Thanks again,

Hi Reloaded,

Thanks for the thought, but I’m looking for something different. I need to a way to take a long series of clips and automate placing them in the render queue using the name of the clip as the name in the output module and using the timeline in out for the render in out.

Colin mentioned doing this via scripting. Can anyone point me toward a resource that would help me figure out how to script this?

Thanks,

Eric

drag your clips to the render queue, select the output module and click the dropdown to custom ans set it to

[compName]_[startTimecode]-[endTimecode].[fileExtension]

Hi RenderNYC,

Dragging the clips to the render queue gives me the clips with correct clip name, but I’m looking for an
automated way of getting the in and out timecode from the time line for each clip rather than having to enter the times manually. To explain further – I have almost two thousand clips that I have to render as clips with
specific names. I’m trying to see if there is some way to take the timecode information from the comp and get it into the correct clip in the render cue and do the same with each clip name.

Thanks,

Eric

you have all the clips in a timeline already and want that timecode?
