comping batches and exporting individual shots

Hi All

I am still quite new to fusion. The dilema i face is this.
I have used dissolve nodes and the timeline to string multiple clips into one long sequence.
This is fantastic as i need to slap the same effect over all shots.
Now I would like to export my shots individually and drive the name of the saver by the name of each input clip.

Ie,
loaders with dissolve nodes and shifting in timeline creates the following..
shot01_010-010_V01 (fr.1-100), shot01_010-020_V01 (fr.101-155), shot01_020-010_V01 (fr.156-200)

now I want to save out with input name plus specified version number, and all starting from fr.1
shot01_010-010_V01 (fr.1-100)
shot01_010-020_V01 (fr.1-55)
shot01_020-010_V01 (fr.1-45)


what is the best way to automate this ?


many thanks
Jono

Hi Jono,

You can use the hos_SaverLister script from svenneve. You can have multiple savers and control which frame ranges they should render.

Not sure about automating the loader to saver name... might just have to copy and paste.

Thanks Ryan

Yes I found the HosSaver list. quite handy but I would in general like to be able to carry over frame and name metadata from loader to saver. Anyone have any ideas ?

thanks

Use the copy meta node before saver, and you can always use your own savers, as fusion supports unlimited savers within the flow.
The saver has a button 'create folder on render' and this will create a folder if you are tweaking the path in saver.

But you can't make saver or loader names by expressions.

you can with scripting, and i'm pretty sure in-tool scripting as well.

I take the above to mean that there is no render tokens for the render path ?
That is really what I would like.
