Output multiple target comps

[TobiasvK]

Hi,

I was wondering if it would be possible to render multiple target comps from the same Sheets row. For example, row 2 in my Sheet renders target comp 1 2 and 3.

Would help me a lot!

Unfortunately, Templater only has the ability to create one render for each entry in the data source. In this case, you’d want to create a new line for each target that you were looking to render. Hopefully, that helps, but please just let us know if we can answer any other questions.

Thanks!

@tobiasvk to add to Jeff’s post, we’ve spent significant time exploring adding multiple outputs per job/row, but it’s much more technically complicated than it would seem, so while we haven’t ruled it out, we’re not planning to release it at the moment. That said, if you have Templater Bot, you could add other comps to the render queue, simultaneously, using event scripts code written in ExtendScript on a “before output” event. The target value in your data source would need to be unique, though, as that is a reserved column name for Templater-- you shouldn’t have more than one column named target.

Hi…I utilize a comparable methodology while making client docs. I start by archiving the fundamental item, then, at that point, add the varieties. I utilize contingent labels to distinguish content for a particular yield. I likewise make preparing materials utilizing a comparative methodology.

Assuming the variety is theme based, ie there is a distinction in subjects utilized in the material, I then, at that point, utilize diverse TOCs to construct the yield. Sometimes I utilize a mix of the two methods, for instance preparing material does exclude every one of the points so utilizes a seperate TOC, and has its own restrictive labels to control content inside the subjects.

I additionally use conditions for on the web/print renditions. The print form incorporates screen captures, yet I don’t utilize numerous screen captures for online conveyance (except if I need the client to see what the screen should resemble). Very little point having screen captures on the off chance that the client has the program open.
