Working with Jobs

Jobs are sets of properties, structured as JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) and stored within QUE Campaigns. They each represent a unique versioning and output task that Templater performs. Job data can be applied to one or more Autografs Autografs are master video templates authored with Dataclay's Templater software. Data is merged into an Autograf by way of Templater. for output variation.

Job properties include your videos’ customization data as well as configurations for controlling the behavior of your video authoring application. For example, a job's properties can be configured to inform After Effects which render settings and output module it will to use, and to set the name of the output asset.

You add jobs to your campaigns from the QUE Dashboard A web based application that allows QUE users to manage, Jobs, Campaigns, and Satellites. or from your own application that interfaces with QUE's API endpoints. To create video using QUE, use Templater to merge job data into dynamic elements within your Autografs and let your Satellites In QUE, a computer running video composition software and the Templater Bot. render them to an output file.

In the QUE Dashboard, you can find your jobs by viewing a campaign's table. From there you can manage individual jobs or groups of selected jobs.

To summarize, we can describe jobs in relation to QUE's other components:

• Job data merges into an Autograf.
• Campaigns contain a series of jobs.
• Satellites process jobs into video output.
