Creating a Template from a Template - swamiforlife - 01-29-2020

I have used the existing VFX template to create a new Project. 
I want to make some minor changes to the new project and use that as a template for other new projects. 
Is this possible?

If i create a new project and set it as a Template then i can't select the existing VFX template and work of that.
If i want to create a template i have to start from a blank project. Is this how it is supposed to work or am i doing something wrong. 

Thanks

To be honest, we haven't used templates in a long time (we use TACTIC Plugins)

However, they are admittedly a lot more complex to set up, but you have much more flexibility.

For templates, I believe you can just set any project as a template and it will appear on the create project menu. You would just have to create a new VFX project, make the necessary changes and then set that project as a template (under the is_template column in the project list). This project is then available to be used as a template. Just don't "use" a template a production project.

I think it is time to make some step-by-step guide! People are demanding! Angel
