      Having trouble getting Templater to change the text properties inside of After Effects through Que. I’m new to Que, have some knowledge of Zapier & proficient in Templater.

      Templater plugin added to a Text layer inside a comp labeled “message” layer named “message” as well.

      Target comp = message
      Previewing job in templater works but not sure why text layer won’t change to Airtable column data named “message”.
      Testing worked

      Am I missing a step? TIA

          @joevac Got it working. How come I don’t have access to delete jobs?
          Is that due to having the TRIAL?

            I’m glad to hear that you were able to get the issue with the data resolved. As far as your question about deleting Jobs is concerned, you are correct that this feature is turned off in the Trial version of QUE. However, it should definitely be an option that’s enabled in the full version of the service.

            Hopefully, that helps, but if you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us here or via email at support@dataclay.com.

            Thanks!

            Jeff

              @Jeff Thanks for the info. Question on QUE: If I’m not using BOT but I batch render in PRO, will QUE status change to Done for the job? And then does it make sense to use Que if you aren’t using the Bot?

                Dataclay QUE should absolutely update the render-status to “done” even if you’re rendering with Templater Pro. As far as the other question is concerned, there are quite a few benefits to using QUE to interface with Templater, even if you’re not using Templater Bot.

                The first benefit is that QUE is highly flexible and efficient when it comes to the storage of data since it’s not limited to a spreadsheet’s rigid format. This allows a lot more flexibility in changing between projects on the fly while still using the same Campaign and Project data.

                QUE also provides much more information on each Job’s status than we’re able to provide using the Google Sheets API. If you take a look in the QUE interface at the “View Job Logs” option all the way on the right, you should be able to see that data.

                Finally, QUE has a number of easy-to-use API hooks that can give users the flexibility to set up intricate systems to deposit data from a number of different sources directly into their QUE campaigns. Check out this link for more information on that feature.

                Hopefully, that all makes sense, but if you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

                Thanks,

                Jeff
