This guide explains how to list, fetch, update, and (eventually) organize your After Effects templates in Nexrender Cloud.

​
Template Storage & Retention

Templates are currently persisted indefinitely unless deleted manually. In future versions of Nexrender Cloud, you may be able to:
  • Define auto-expiry dates for templates
  • Set retention policies (e.g. delete after 30 days of inactivity)
  • Audit unused templates to manage storage
For now:
  • Use GET /templates path to review active templates
  • Use GET /templates/{id} to review particular template
  • Regularly delete old or unused templates after campaigns
