Render queue must be set in your project in advance because of this script will take over all render parameters from AEP's render queue.

This script makes a folder which holds a pair of a dupicated AEP file and its render-command (.sh for macos or .bat file for Windows). The folder will be placed in the same directory as AEP file. Folder name is depends on your AEP file;

For example, if AEP file name was "myproject.aep", the folder is named "myproject_aerender".

Note that all files will remain in this folder which will not be removed automatically.
