1. Re: Workflow question about output module names
Mylenium Jan 21, 2010 12:36 AM (in response to Andy Bay)Well, it gives you what you asked for - auto-named comps based on the project. If you want to avoid that, you probably should consider coming up with a script-based solution. Once the save filename has been defined, it becomes part of the project, so turning off the auto-naming scheme would even work...

2. Re: Workflow question about output module names
Andy Bay Jan 21, 2010 1:18 AM (in response to Mylenium)Thanks for helping Mylenium!
Could it maybe be somehow possible to take advantage of the fact that when I import the projects into AE it brings each project in in a folder that has the name of that project? In other words would it be possible to have the output module automatically pick the name of the folder that the render comp is in?

3. Re: Workflow question about output module names
Mylenium Jan 21, 2010 8:31 AM (in response to Andy Bay)Should be perfectly doable to iterate through the appProjectIItem list. Off hand I'm not sure if it recognizes folders, though, so maybe it will be a bit more tricky to get what you want. IMO the safest way to avoid any confusion would be to have the script itself do the import. That way it can store the name of the imported file as a variable or some text file and reuse it when it renames the RQ items...

I guess I need to go to the aescripts forum cap in hand. =)
