"Output to" stamp

[bubster119]

Does anyone know if there is a way to return the value of the "output to" filename (i.e. Comp 1.mov) from the render queue to a new text layer - the same way as has been discussed previously for stamping date, frame rate, comp name etc?

I've been going through the JavaScript reference and found:

OutputModule file attribute
app.project.renderQueue.item(index).outputModules[index].file

Description
The ExtendScript File object for the file this output module is set to render.

but I'm new to this and am unsure how to implement it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

I don't think you can access the outputmodule in expressions. You could write a quick script to dump that info into the sourceText of a layer though. The script would have to be run every time you change the filename though.
