Select the views.
Build every review.
Producing the same playblast from several cameras means repeatedly changing the active view, frame range, viewport display and output settings. This tool brings that work into one controlled batch.
Keep reviews consistent
Control resolution, quality, offscreen capture and the viewport elements included in every playblast.
Finish as MP4
Create MOV captures and automatically convert successful results to H.264 MP4 files with FFmpeg.
Technical notes Open details
State restoration
The workflow temporarily changes cameras and viewport settings, then restores the active view, current frame and display state when the batch finishes.
Safe conversion
The source MOV is removed only after FFmpeg successfully creates the MP4. Settings are stored separately from Maya preferences and reused on the next session.
