AfterEffects settings
There is a couple of settings that could configure publishing process for AfterEffects. All of them are Project based, eg. each project could have different configuration.
Location: Settings > Project > AfterEffects
Publish plugins

Worfkile Builder
Obsolete way how to present artist with a template when they are working on new task.
Templated Workfile Build Settings
This more advanced way allows creating more elaborate workfile templates with placeholders for loaded items or to create publishable item via Creator.
Workfile template must be prepared separately via Tray and in the host, then its location could be set for combination of:
Task types(specific template foranimation, different forlayoutetc.)Task names(regex supported )
Additional options:
Keep placeholders- when template gets populated should placeholders be deleted? (In most cases yes.)Create first version- if template should be used and populated for versionv001of a workfile automatically
