Looking for a way to change my default batch schematic reel names.
Schematic Reel 1 → Source Clips
Schematic Reel 2 → PreComps
etc etc.
Anyone know a way of doing this besides just renaming them every time I create a new batch?
Thanks!

Paging @andymilkis…is your Python script public, the one that creates Batch Groups with predefined reel names?
It certainly can be 
.
Let me take out the references to LVLY and I’ll put it up on the Portal.
Absolutely. Once I upload my python script that does this I’ll also post some instructions on how to modify it.

OK, it’s on it’s way up to the portal now. Once installed, if you right click on the desktop in the Media Panel you will see a popup in CUSTOM: Desktop for Create New Batch Group.
If you open the script you can easily edit the name and number of schematic reels that are created:
To change the names and number of Schematic reels, just edit what is in line 39 “schem_reels”
To change the name of the batch group that is created change the name in quotes in line 44
And here’s a fun tip: You can assign hotkeys to any script. Just go to the hotkey editor and sort the list alphabetically. the Python scripts are under HOOK. I have Ctrl-Meta-Alt-B set for create new batch groups 
I’ve attached the script here, too. You just have to drop it in /opt/Autodesk/shared/python
