Is there a way to control the file format of the quicktime movie that Draft writes when submitting a Draft job along with a Modo job submission? Right now it seems like it defaults to an MOV, but I would like to write it out as an MP4.
Thanks
James
Hey James,
Unfortunately, this is currently hard-coded in the Draft Event Plugin.
It’d be pretty straightforward to change it though, just open up the ‘events/Draft/Draft.py’ file in your repository, and look for the following line (should be around line ~87 or so):
draftOutput = Path.Combine( draftOutputFolder, outputFileName + ".mov" )
Simply change the .mov extension to .mp4, and you should see the desired result:
draftOutput = Path.Combine( draftOutputFolder, outputFileName + ".mp4" )
Cheers,

Sweet, I was trying to find out which file to hack. Thanks! 
Does an MP4 output actually switch over to an MP4 container? I assume this only works with H264 as the codec? Do the codec settings remain the same?
I have to admit that video codecs and containers are something I’m still learning about. I’ll do some research and get back to you on this one.
