Installing .aom Output Modules in After Effects with command-line

[Aecorn]

You can save and load .aoms from the output module template editor.

I want to know if there is a command-line-way of installing/"loading" this aom in after effects on new computer.

Maybe something like this:

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2019\Support Files\AfterFX.exe" -r "S:\pipeline\proresTemplates.aom"

The goal is to ensure that the -OMtemplate flagvalue exists when submitting an aerender command.

We already have a renderfarm at work, and Id like to work in AE while I render projects on one of the rendernodes.

The aerender-command would look something like this:

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2019\Support Files\aerender.exe" -project "N:\engSubs_v003.aep" -comp "main" -RStemplate "Best Settings" -OMtemplate "proresHQ" -output "N:\2019-10-01_engSubs.mov"

Last I checked there is no way to automate AOM installations this way, you'll need to manually create the render settings through scripting, or check if a preset exists. For more info, check out the RenderQueue object.

But this would require launching AE full version to launch a custom script to "build" what cannot be built from aerender command-line?

You'd need a licensed version of AE either the full UI, noui, or aerendercore/afterFX.com version.
