Working with Autografs

After preparing your project to accept mapped data with Templater and verifying how that data merges into dynamic layers, you can create an Autograf Autografs are master video templates authored with Dataclay's Templater software. Data is merged into an Autograf by way of Templater. and add it to QUE. Once it exists in QUE, you can clone it to a new Autograf, update it, or remove it. You can use Templater's Autograf Setup dialog to manage your opened Autograf. Alternatively, you can use the QUE Dashboard A web based application that allows QUE users to manage, Jobs, Campaigns, and Satellites. to inspect an Autograf's manifest or remove it from QUE if your user account has those privileges.

You add Autografs to QUE by using Templater running on a Satellite In QUE, a computer running video composition software and the Templater Bot.. In this way, you are assured that the Satellite can load any Job's referenced Autograf and its dependencies for error-free processing. If you need your Autografs and their dependencies on multiple Satellites, you will need to adopt a workflow for deploying them to each of your Satellites. For example, you can use a sync folder service such as Google Drive or Dropbox to ensure all Satellites have the latest Autograf, but you may need to install and activate specific fonts and effects on each Satellite to ensure the Autograf can be processed without any dependency errors.

When creating a new QUE Campaign you choose a default Autograf so that any inserted Jobs will use that default whene none is already specified. Later, using the QUE Dashboard, you can edit a Job to use a particular Autograf for output.
