Dylan’s Templater

Dylan’s Templater is a small tool I have created that allows Avid editors to create project templates.

Basically you can setup a project with all the bins, folder and sequences that you want, and then create new project based on that. It’s pretty simplistic and unrefined but it seems to do the job.

It has been created to address a specific need that I had, but seems like a common enough problem that I decided to release if for anyone who’s interested. It is a freeware application, available for personal and commercial use by anyone who is interested. If you feel it’s made your life easier feel free to make a donation.

Known Issues:

  • Includes only basic sanity checks. May still be possible to create project names that Avid can’t cope with.
  • In a Unity environment some settings (such as open bins, and imported bins from other projects) are stored in the client-specific settings. These will be copied, but will still only work on that client.
