Upload to Shotgun: Deadline is unaware of the output location

Hello,

When submitting a job to deadline via a custom submitter script, sometimes the job fails with this error:

The thumbnail not being created it’s not a problem, the problem is that the Draft Template job doesn’t start after.

Hello,

In order to use shotgun and draft you have to set the output file and output directories in the job info file. These can be set using the jobinfo key’s OutputFilename#=/To/File.ext
