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 the following folder: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\BorisFX\Render Templates\<plug-in name>.

NOTE The "AppData" folder is not visible unless the the option Hidden Items is selected on the "View" tab of the Windows Explorer

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

To make a template available on another computer or user account, copy the .sft2 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:\User\JSchmidt\AppData\Roaming\BorisFX\Render Templates\wave\

to this folder:

C:\User\AMueller\AppData\Roaming\BorisFX\Render Templates\wave\.
