Playback image sequence after playblast fails

Open BigRoy opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

Problem

When playblasting to the image codec the resulting playblast is not opened for previewing because the name is returned as e.g. playblast.####.png with the #### being the problematic argument for viewers.

Solution

Resolve the #### with the frame number (an existing file) and pass it as correct argument to image viewers.

Resolved in branch 0008 : https://github.com/aardschok/maya-capture-gui/tree/0008

  • Image file path padding is resolved after capturing
  • "View when finished" works regardless of "Save" is checked.

With #25 this does not error out anymore but it does only show a single frame from the sequence instead of all. (Likely the last frame, because it takes the last one sorted by modified date)

It's good to still investigate on how we can have Maya default like behavior for playing back sequences.

Note that Maya also has customization features for sequence playback under Settings/Preferences under the Applications header
