Render queue (scripting)

Queueing renders, choosing formats and output files from Brio Script.

Member	Notes
`numItems`, `item(i)`	Brio's queue as it was when the script started. These can't be changed.
`items.add(comp)`	Returns a new `RenderQueueItem`.

A new item renders the comp's work area (else the whole comp) as H.264 MP4 until told otherwise.

Member	Notes
`timeSpanStart`, `timeSpanDuration`
`render`	`false` skips it.
`remove()`, `duplicate()`
`status`	`RQItemStatus.NEEDS_OUTPUT` until it has a file.
`outputModule(1)`	The output module (below).

Output module

Member	Notes
`file = new File(path)`	The extension picks the format: .mp4, .mov, .png / .exr sequences, .gif, .json (Lottie), .svg.
`applyTemplate(name)`	AE's names map to Brio's formats: H.264 … Mbps, H.265, Lossless (with Alpha), High Quality (with Alpha), ProRes 422 / HQ / LT / 4444, PNG Sequence, EXR Sequence, Animated GIF, Lottie, Animated SVG.
`templates`
`getSettings` / `setSettings`	For `"Output File Info"` → `"Full Flat Path"`.

When the script ends

Brio shows the items and their output files and renders (or queues) them only if you agree. An item without a file goes to the last render folder.
