Automatic file naming during export

ree

In older versions of pftrack, export automatically named files based on the name of the clip at the beginning of the stream. Can you enable this option again?

Hi Zlajokv,


The Scene Export node was updated several years ago to make the naming of your export files more flexible. You can use variables to define your own naming scheme, and also set these in the preferences for future use: Set the default name using the %m variable, which maps to the input clip name and automatically fills in the export filename.


For reference you can find more information here:

And don’t forget: you can also use the newly released ‘AI Assistant’ or the built-in ‘Keyword search’ from the ‘Help menu’ to find this kind of information quickly.
