Yes, John I see the templates for output modules is the way to go. Thanks! BTW FYI: I found a script that can be run so that I don’t have to replicate/setup hundreds of comps.

There is a script that allows you to export separate layers as individual clips. Once I add keyframes for fades, keylight, scaling etc. it renders out each trimmed layer as a separate file.
By using the steps you described above it’s a perfect storm for mass rendering. For some reason the idea of setting up 500+ comps seemed like a daunting way to go to me. The script names the clips automatically as well.

Here is the link to some documentation on it: https://www.crgreen.com/aescripts/
Look for Queue_Comp_Sections half way down the page.

Here is a direct link to the script itself. https://www.crgreen.com/aescripts/actual_scripts/Queue_Comp_Sections.jsx

I’m using your suggestion combined with this script. I haven’t done much with batch exporting in ae so thanks for taking time to help me figure this out. It’s easier than I thought!

This is a lifesaver for an AE newbie. Thanks

Thanks so much for all the help everyone. Sorry I didn’t respond sooner. (Don’t hate me) I had to catch flight to Kona Hawaii, that afternoon and ran out of time. We ended up just having him play the original english version on a laptop in the booth, and recorded to a zoom through the xlr wall connection. That way he could see it and hear it in his headset while recording. I will try to mount a monitor inside the booth and connect it as a second screen to the laptop outside.

I find that it is nice for artists to be able to see and hear the original source material even if they are just doing a language VO. They seem to match the original feeling of the native speaker that way.

Thanks again.

Thanks Ty,
Our Spanish voice over artist tends to match the energy and timing better when he can see the person speaking in the video. Previously we recorded at a very nice full scale sound studio and that seemed to work well for us. Now that we have a booth I want to have the same capability for the artist’s convenience. This is a unique situation where the Spanish VO artist is “the voice of the CEO” in latin America. So we’re using him to establish the same energy and attitude but for a consistent/similar sound in the latin market. I’m sure we can do it without video feed as you suggest, but I am hoping to have looping capability in the booth as well for future needs. But with our current software it may not work out I guess.
