Postprocesses

Postprocesses run after a publish and are linked to components. They will trigger a post process script to run from the primary server to run various post process operations and example being triggering a movie creation job on deadline.

info

Scripts are written in python and exist in the default install location and have to be available for the primary server to run the job. These can be updated and customized by following the default examples.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Taskforger\scripts\postprocesses
