Quicktime job event on AE job completion?

Is there a built in way to set off a Quicktime event when an After Effects job finishes or is this something that requires a custom script?

Hello James,

There is actually an ability to right click a job in the monitor, then choose Scripts, and then Quicktime to make a quicktime job from that. I am sure this could be coded by a skilled programmer to be done in a post task script of some sort. Hope that helps.

Cheers,

you can also use DRAFT!

I was thinking of scripting something but I wanted to make sure there wasn’t functionality already there…time being == to money and all. Draft looks very intriguing though, I’ll have to check it out and maybe go in that direction.

QuickTime Event Plugin example:

You can just swap out the “identify Nuke” as the PluginJob type to be “AfterEffects” for your use case.

However as Chris mentioned, Draft is way similar. See here for a QuickTime example in just a few lines of Python:
thinkboxsoftware.com/draft-c … ime-movie/

So, you could use the event plugin framework in my first example link above with the Draft QuickTime example from the Draft cookbook example above and you’re sorted :slight_smile:
