Exporting Spot Checks through the Command Line
Follow these steps to export spot checks using the CLI:
- Ensure that the AE project file you would like to version through the command line interface is able to be versioned without error using the Templater panel in After Effects. See Rendering Versioned Video in a Batch Process or Rendering a Batch of Replicas Using Adobe Media Encoder for more information.
- Ensure that you have configured the templater-options.json file. See Configuring Templater Options, Preferences, and Tasks for more information. Set
spot_check
in thetasks
object totrue
. All other property keys in thetasks
object should be set tofalse
.TIP If you want to output renders or replicas in addition to exporting spot checks, set render or replicate to true in the tasks object with all other task properties set to false. Then, set the on_rendering and on_replication properties in the spot_checking object to true.
- Run the Templater launch script through the command line interface using the configured templater-options.json file. See Running Templater from the Command Line for more information.
