After a long search I have not found the way to reach this. I can't believe adobe doesn't have a scripting way to do this. Have anyone found a way? It would really help to speed up the output process.
I'd like to have one button for still image and another one for sequences.
Cheers!
What should be the final outcome?
Do you want to render a composition as image sequence? Do you want to save a frame from serveral comps with one click?
If the latter, focus on setting a name or renaming the output file with your script.
If nothing works, there is always the Advanced Renamer. This would be a second pass in your workflow, but you can set up AR to get rid off _[#####] quite easy and it's made for batch processing (not sure, but if it has command line, you can invoke it with your script right out of AE).
I finally did it!
At the end I have done it in 3 steps:
1- I run a first script were I setup the Render Queue setting the correct path and the filename.
2- I hit Render
3- I run another script that changes the names of the output files.
This is that 3rd step.
var file = new File (totalFilePath); //path of the file + the fileName.fileExtension
var name = file.name;
file.rename(name.replace("_00000",""));
Thanks for your replies.
