Linking assets to an external CMS/DAM
-
Can the spreadsheet point to external URL’s? Seems like the “Footage” parameter has to point to a local directory on the machine. If all my assets live in cloud CMS, how do I connect the 2? Is there a boilerplate tutorial on how to do this?

@pablogomez You can use URLs that are direct links to media files, as long as they are accessible to the machine without needing to log in. You still need to set a local Footage folder, as Templater will still need to download those assets locally, and it will store downloaded media in a [TEMPLATER DOWNLOADS] folder within your designated footage folder.

@Jon thanks for the reply. Your response makes sense. Do you have any recommendations or have clients using existing CMS platforms successfully, such as cloudinary, contentful, etc.? Ideally we would want all our assets in the cloud.

@ParanoidGrenade we don’t have specifics on integrating with a CMS/DAM, as we don’t often have visibility into the various ways our customers use Templater…If it is able to deliver assets in a way that fits within the guidelines, it should be possible-- the URLs need to be direct links to a file (with a file extension) and they need to be accessible without logging in.
