Naming tokens
Naming tokens
New in v1.1, Naming Tokens are a set of short letter combinations following a $. Based on the system of file naming from Cinema 4D, it is possible to create a sequence that will generate dynamic names and folders for all your renders.
Token insert
Next to the File Name field there is a little 🔽 button. Inside of here are some of the more common tokens available. Click to add it to the end of the file name. These are not all of the supported tokens, just a few of the most commonly used.
Dynamic folder names
One of the most powerful parts of the system is the dynamic creation of render folders. By adding slashes to the file name field, Anubis will create sub-folders starting at where you point the export folder picker.
A common use is to create dated, daily render folders as a method of organizing the exports for each of your projects.

Parent folder
In the Token Insert menu, you'll see an option that adds ../ to the name field. This cryptic group of symbols is not a naming token, but a way that computers navigate folders relatively. Anubis will render to the folder in the Export path but from there it is possible to go into a parent folder by adding ../. Go up 2 folders with ../../. You get the idea.
Relative path (Ae)
Don't forget about relative render folders from After Effects. This means each project can have its own render folder, with dated sub folders.
