  1. Open your AE project.
  2. In the Templater Panel, in the Batch Assets group, input a Data Source, Footage Folder and Output Folder.
  3. In the Templater Panel, click Save.
  4. The next time you open the AE project, click the Load from Project button in the Batch Assets group of the Templater Panel. Your previously selected Data source, Footage folder, and Output folder references will load automatically.
