QueueMaster V1.0 (AE Scripts)
QueueMaster is a render automation script designed to significantly reduce the time needed for setting up renders. It achieves this by associating comp label colors with any output settings you’ve defined. You can define render templates, file paths, versioning, and more! It’s particularly handy for teams of After Effects users who want to ensure everyone is producing renders the same way. Relative file paths allow you to move between projects without the need to define the output directory each time you render. QueueMaster looks where your After Effects project is saved and bases all output directories from that location.
