AEP MASTER

Fixed ffmpeg configuration that caused some color differences between the AEP composition and the final .mov / .mp4 files

AEP MASTER

In an attempt to make the app experience smooth, the app will create now in the user home directory a folder called AEPMASTER were it will store this files:
8CxsDP3m3XH8kuyrMhPocUGwboZbJd4.txt
aerender_location.txt

• 8CxsDP3m3XH8kuyrMhPocUGwboZbJd4.txt
  This is a random generated name so there is no mistake detecting it. This is created once Terminal is allowed in Accessibility.

The reason this file exists, is so the app don't have to check Terminal in Accessibility each time you launch the app, it will only look for this app, and as long the app exists, means Terminal was granted previously the Accessibility access.

• aerender_location.txt
  The app will ask you for the aerender file location the first time you launch it.

The location will then be stored in this text file. If the app is unable to locate the aerender file during launch, it will delete this .txt file and ask you again to locate the file, creating a new text fill with the new location.

Other changes:

• Added: GUI timer showing how many seconds remain before the system shuts down and from here the user can cancel the automatic shutdown process.
• Added: Dialog window that shows after all the tasks are done and it allows the user to reveal the final .mp4 on the finder if the user choose to.

AEP MASTER

• Added: The app will create a .txt inside the app itself in order to check if Terminal is allowed in the Accessibility features.

• Updated: The included video, now it explains how to add terminal to the accessibility features in OSX.

• Changed: ⌘T is now send by Terminal.app, you need to allow Terminal to the accessibility features

• Changed: No longer you need the .aep file to match the name of the composition you want to render., now you can input any name you want and it will look for it.

• Changed: Maximum instances recommended from 32 to 12.

• Fixed: Typos in the docs... not all of them tho.

AEP Master: Standlone

This new release doesn't need iTerm, it can run without the need to install anything else.

It now allow the user to input manually any amount of instances with a warning, but still the code will allow the user to use any amount of instances as needed.

AEP Master: Almost standalone

I integrated ffmpeg and mediainfo into the app, so this new version only requires you to have iTerm installed.

It also can self-replicate it self each time you launch it so you can render multiple .aep in parallel.

AEPMaster-beta

This .zip content:

• i am a demo (After Effects demo effects project, can be deleted)
• AEPtoMP4-MASTER (main render script)
• multicore (this just create render instances, can be deleted)
• ffmpeg (is used to create .mov and .mp4 files)

The composition and .aep file MUST share the same name
The folder MUST be in the user desktop
The folder MUST be named ae_multicore

You MUST have installed After Effects, the script is meant to run with AE CC2020, in case you are running other version, you have to open the script and edit the version number, I made it easy to locate.
