MRG - Cinematic Assembly Tokens From Metadata Return Empty When Rendering

Metadata defined on a Cinematic Assembly isn’t accessible as naming tokens when rendering with Movie Render Graph. Global naming tokens defined outside of a Cinematic Assembly does work but contextual tokens, which would commonly be used to define render output paths, return empty.

This is because Movie Render Graph does not pass the Assembly object as a context object when evaluating “cat” tokens. This context should always be passed when a user renders a Cinematic Assembly. There is no need to offer an opt-out because always including the context should be considered expected behavior from the perspective of the CAT feature.

1. Create a Cinematic Assembly and include some metadata.
2. Create a Movie Render Graph config and use a metadata token in it such as {cat:production}

   .

3. Render it.

The token will return empty.
