Submitting Jobs

There are two imporant parts to getting your job to run on Conductor:

• Setting the parameters for your job
• Uploading all the necessary files

This section will walk through the general process of submitting a job, using the Maya submitter plugin as an example. For details on submitting a job from a particular DCC or from the Companion app, see the following:

• Maya plugin
• Clarisse plugin
• Conductor Companion app

Job Parameters¶

Open the submitter. The first time you open the submitter, the Conductor login page will open in your browser window. This is where you'll authenticate. Enter the email and password you entered when first signing-up. This only has to be done once on each computer you use

Next, set all the parameters. Most of the default values should be correct. For details on what each parameter does, see the documentation for the appropriate plugin.

You'll want to ensure that Scout Job is checked. This will hold all your frames until your scout frames have succesfully completed. You'll be able to specify your scout frames in the next step.

When you're ready, click on the Submit Job button and you'll be prompted to enter a comma-separated list of scout frames.

After you enter the scout frames and click Ok, Conductor will scrape your scene for all dependent files and start the upload process. Once the upload process has completed, you'll receive a confirmation dialog with your job number. Clicking on the job number will open up the Web Dashboard in your browser.
