Copy rendering templates between computers or user accountsClosed

You can make your customized rendering templates available on another computer or user account by copying .sft2 files to the appropriate location in the new account or computer.

Rendering templates are stored in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\BorisFX\Render Templates\<plug-in name>\.

NOTE The Application Data/AppData folder is not visible unless the Show hidden files and folders radio button is selected on the View tab of the Windows Folder Options control panel.

TIP You can find a plug-in's name by clicking the About button in the Render As dialog.

To make a template available on another computer or user account, copy the .sft file to the same location in another account.

For example, to make JSmith's custom wave template available for the AJones user account, copy the appropriate .sft2 file from this folder:

C:\Users\JSmith\AppData\Roaming\BorisFX\Render Templates\wave

to this folder:

C:\Users\AJones\AppData\Roaming\BorisFX\Render Templates\wave.

TIP If you're copying templates from an older application, templates are saved as .sft files in the following folder: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roamin\BorisFX\File Templates\<plug-in name>\<plug-in GUID>.
