View on GitHub

Features

add support for After Effects submitter user install on Mac & Windows (#187) (2b25671)

Important Note

This feature will set a new default path for user installs of the AE submitter in Windows when installed with the submitter installer, which includes the DeadlineCloudSubmitter.jsx and DeadlineCloudSubmitter_Assets folder containing other submitter files.

As a result, this provides proper user install behavior on Windows by ensuring that customers doing a user install for the AE submitter will no longer need Admin credentials. However, this means the submitter is being stored in a different file location. For more information on how to find and run the AE submitter with user install, please consult our README.md for further guidance.
