Modify Render templates through script?

For example, now I have a project with a resolution of 32 × 32 pixels and a frame rate of 5 fps and want to render an AVI video file with alpha channel. In general, I have to manually modify the render template to match the project. I want to use the script to automatically modify the render template directly according to the project properties, and then render. Is this possible?

(I know that I can match project properties directly using Voukoder or DebugMode FrameServer, but I try to avoid third-party plug-ins for the compatibility of the script.)

All of the render template settings are read only. You cannot set, for example, the Height and Width from a script. You will need to create the proper template first and then call the proper template.

Or you can use a renderer that doesn't require a separate template for each frames size such as MagicYUV, GrassValley HQX, etc.

"but I try to avoid third-party plug-ins for the compatibility of the script". Not sure what type of incompatibility you are referring to. HappyOtterScripts has quite a few rendering tools (scripts), many of which are based on the use of DebugMode FrameServer and there are no issues AFAIK.
