I really like the current Create Batch Group workflow, and would like to keep it going into unmanaged land. I also have some time before rolling things out, so Python it’ll be. Thanks for the super fast reply, Kirk! ---

I like that workflow too. I can share a script with you that might help get you started. It copies all the metadata it can from a Render node to a Write node. You can define your default paths in the script. I’ll just need to simplify it if you’re interested. ---

I certainly wouldn’t turn down any help you’re offering. Can you DM it to me please? Thanks, John!! ---

Unless I am missing something, I very, very rarely need to grab a Write Node. Publishing builds all the Write Nodes. You should install Logik Projekt for a second to see how simple it is. Publish creates everything. And Precomps/Denoise/WhatverPrecompsYouWant are open clipped. ---

I’m still very much in the Rumsfeldian land of unknown unknowns when it comes to the full picture of working unmanaged. I think I did a sequence publish one time 8 years ago when I did my first indie feature. It’s been a while! And yeah I should probably get around to talking to Phil about his Projekt project. Thanks for the nudge. ---

Looks like 2026.2 has a variable for this now. There’s a bug where it loses the setting on re-launch. But it’s pretty neat to be able to set it up without any python for peeps like me 🙂 ---
