  • [SCRIPT] How to change AME’s render location and outputmodules from AE ?

    Posted by David Delayat on August 19, 2016 at 11:30 am

    Hi everyone, I’m working on a script which has to render a lot of comps, but I don’t want to do it in AE because the app freezes when rendering.
    I’m able to send my comps to AME (thanks to this topic, but I need to set locations and output modules I created.

    Any clue for it ?

    Thanks a lot,

    David

    for ( var i = 0; i<DD_tabCompoFinales.length ; i++){
    DD_tabCompoFinales[i].selected = true ;
    app.executeCommand(3800);
    }

    Hi, this is an adapted function of one of my projects to add ítems to render queue:

    function addCompToQueue (comp, renderSettingsName, outputModuleName, filePath) {
    var newFile = new File(filePath);
    var item = app.project.renderQueue.items.add(sequence);
    var output = item.outputModule(1);

    item.applyTemplate(renderSettingsName);
    output.applyTemplate(renderSettingsName);
    output.file = newFile;
    return item
    }

    For send the item to AME I don’t know how to do that. Hope it helps.

    Thank you very much, but I have this already, no problem with putting it in the renderQueue 😉 It’s for the AME render I’m in trouble…
