Overview

AEQueue

An After Effects render queue for ShotGrid Toolkit.

Features

  • Render multiple comps to locations defined by templates in your Toolkit config.
  • Compress full-res renders as MP4 and GIF using ffmpeg.
  • Copy compressed renders to a review folder.
  • Upload renders to ShotGrid for review.

Installing

To install AEQueue make the changes in the example_config directory to your own toolkit config. This includes the following:

  1. Modify env/app_locations.yml to include tk-aftereffects-queue.
  2. Add env/includes/settings/tk-aftereffects-queue.yml to configure AEQueue. (See info.yml for details on configuration values.)
  3. Modify env/includes/settings/tk-aftereffects.yml to include AEQueue in your asset_step and shot_step sections for the tk-aftereffects engine.

TODO

  • Make UI dpi-aware.
  • Add Publish step to publish the base render (and aep?)
  • Add pre and post render hooks.

  • Copy file before bg render.

    Copy file before bg render.

    Make a copy of the AE project and pass the copy to aerender for background rendering. Ensures that the bg render process has a static and up-to-date copy of the AE project to work with!

    Addresses a bug where starting a bg render would not get the latest changes in your scene.

    • Suppress dialogs while rendering directly in AE. Users should no longer need to accept dialogs for overwriting renders or warnings about color bit depth.

    • Fix issue where a Failed task was not propagated to all depedent jobs, causing the dialog to get stuck running, when it should Fail.

    • Fix failure caused by rendering to Google Drive on some fresh installs of ShotGrid. Solved by fixing the following two related issues.

      • Fix path generation ensuring that paths point to the correct output folders.
      • Fix BNS output module templates. Please remove the existing templates

    • Improved reliability of background rendering.

    • Set default background rendering threads to 4.
