General Job Properties Scripting

I am trying to streamline our render process a bit here and was thinking about having Deadline auto-change the output paths of all renders (and a couple other properties: description, etc…). We use After Effects, C4D, Maya, and Max and I would like to be able to globally change the output paths as such:

User Bill submits an After Effects render for job #1234 (which he enters into the comment field). I would like to have Deadline change the output path to something like: Network location (global for all users)job number\scene name\date\username\

I have to guess this is possible but can it be done globally and can a Python novice like me figure that out?

Any suggestions or guidance is appreciated…

Hello,

This is quite possibly doable using an event script, but it would take some scripting time to get it right. The documentation on event scripts is found at thinkboxsoftware.com/deadlin … eventssdk/
