      Hello Team,

      I am trying Templater in trial mode, I setup a BOT namely ‘xx’ to render videos from a local JSON file, and enabled the BOT. However, no videos was rendered. I checked the toggle box ‘Render’ under BOT settings.
      The local JSON file contains column ‘render-status’ with some ‘ready’ values per row.

      Does the BOT work under trail mode please?
      Thanks.

      Here is the log so far.

      2019-2-4 @ 19:8:51 [BOT ACTION] : Render…
      2019-2-4 @ 19:8:51 [RENDER VIDEO] : Executing batch render of video output.
      2019-2-4 @ 19:8:51 [LOCAL FILE] : Bot ‘xx’ is searching for new, ready. Looking in following file =>
      D:\videos\test.json

      Regards,
      Groundless

        @groundless Yes, the Bot will work in trial mode. What are the contents of your test.json file? If you named your bot “xx”, then in your data, every JSON object will require a key/value pair of:

        "bot":"xx",
        

        If you don’t set those values, in addition to the “render-status”, the Bot won’t know to pick up your data.

          Hi @Jon , thanks. It works now. The following JSON was used to test.

          [
          {
          “WebCam_CP1”: “web1_1.MOV”,
          “render-status”: “ready”,
          “InGame_CP1”: “ingame1_1.mp4”,
          “WebCam_CP2”: “web1_1.MOV”,
          “bot”: “xx”
          },
          {
          “WebCam_CP1”: “web1_2.MOV”,
          “render-status”: “ready”,
          “InGame_CP1”: “ingame1_1.mp4”,
          “WebCam_CP2”: “web1_2.MOV”,
          “bot”: “xx”
          }
          ]
