If all you need is iPhone push notification then the "Render, Save & Shutdown" script can be changed into "Render, Save & Notify" quite trivially.

Thanks dotnet.

I have no idea how scripts work, I'll have a play and see if I can get it going though :s

I've hacked up the Render, Save & Shutdown script for Prowl. Have a go at it if you like, it's here. There are a few bits and pieces at the top the script that you need to adjust to your preference. Most importantly, put your API key there. You also need to download prowl.pl and install it in /usr/local/bin:

Code:

sudo cp /Users/You/Downloads/prowl.pl /usr/local/bin/
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/prowl.pl

I don't have AfterEffects, let me know how it goes.

Cheers

The biggest issue with the AE script was getting it to find Prowl.pl - I needed to define the full path, not just the file name. Once that was figured out (took me long enough!), I posted the updated file to my blog:

iaian7.com » iphone render notifications





I also removed the project saving function, and added a quick speech notification (figured I'd create a script that added notifications for both local and remote devices ). There are still a few things to polish (such as the %20 present in file names returned by AE), but it's usable.

Hi iaian7

Thanks so much for this, I'm pretty excited...

I've managed to get the script working, it tells me my render has finished on the machine, but no push notifcation.

I have the prowl.pl located in /Local Storage/Applications and have put then in the script, and have also generated an API from the prowl website, and added that to the script.

Is this all I should need to do?

Cheers,

Bumping this thread up, would love to get push notifications working for AE, iaian7 seems to of done most of the work, but I'm still a little lost. any advice would be hugely appreciated.

Cheers,
Nath
