Action: Copy

Copy your video/image sequence to a specified folder after rendering is finished

Installation

If you are using binary version of the nexrender, there is no need to install the module, it is included in the binary build.

npm i @nexrender/action-copy -g

Usage

If the provided output path does not exist, it will be created automatically. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten.

If the output path is a folder, the output file will be saved in the destination folder with the default name, example: result.mp4. If the useJobId is set to true, the output file will be saved in the destination folder with the job id used as the filename, for example 4n42nxv4j23j.mp4 instead.

When creating your render job provide this module as one of the postrender actions:

// job.json
{
    "actions": {
        "postrender": [
            {
                "module": "@nexrender/action-copy",
                "output": "/home/videos/myvideo.mov"
            }
        ]
    }
}

// job2.json
{
    "actions": {
        "postrender": [
            {
                "module": "@nexrender/action-copy",
                "output": "D:/MyRenders/Results/",
                "useJobId": "true"
            }
        ]
    }
}
