Creating a warning message through Scripting
by Sam Caino on Aug 25, 2008 at 10:56:00 pm

I have effectively zero Java knowledge but am familiar with concepts from Flash. Is there anyone that can give me some guidance on how to obtain a script where:

-A warning pops up that notifies you when you are choosing all but a specified render template.

For example. I render out hundreds of WMVs per day using a 500k Render Template I created. I want a warning message to pop up every time I choose to render a file using any template EXCEPT the 500k WMV template.

Something along the lines of: "This is not the 500k template, are you sure you want to proceed?

There is no way to intercept the selection of a template with scripting and warn you about your selection. What you could do is write a script that only uses the 500K WMV template and then just run that script to render.

That would work, and I am actually using a multi render workflow (mpg2 and wmv for each clip).
The problem is, I am rendering using networked computers, a remote render farm running the Vegas Network Render Service.

I've learned through other research that scripting does not support Remote Rendering, is this true? Is there any way to automate part, if not all, of this dual render workflow?

You're correct. You can't remote render with scripting. I don't believe there is anything you can automate with scripting for your workflow.
