All remaining temporary playblast files will be deleted when the application quits regardless of whether this flag was set.
Combine the trax sounds into a single track. This might force a resampling of the sound if the sound paramters don’t match up. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
When set, this string specifies the exact name of the output image. In contrast with the -f/filename flag, -cf/completeFilename does not append any frame number or extension string at the end of the filename. Additionally, playblast will not delete the image from disk after it is displayed. This flag should not be used in conjunction with -f/filename.
Specify the compression to use for the movie file. Use the command playblast -options command to launch a dialog to determine wich setting are avalible for a given platform.
Specify the end time of the playblast. Default is the end time of the playback range displayed in the Time Slider. Overridden by -frame.
The filename to use for the output of this playblast. If the file already exists, a confirmation box will be displayed if playblast is performed interactively. If playblast is executed from the command line and the file already exists, it will abort.
Overwrite existing playblast files which may have the the same name as the one specified with the -fflag
The format of the output of this playblast. Valid values and their meanings:– movieThis will result in the defaulting movie format on a given platform On Windows, the out is AVI format and the player is Microsoft Media Player. On Mac OSX, the output is of type QuickTime and the player is QuickTime. On Unix, this option outputs SGI’s movie format and sets the default viewing command to movieplayer. The resulting file is named according to the -fflag, if specified.– aviSet the format to use avi as the output format. Only supported on Windows. – qtQuickTime. Supported on all platforms but 64 bit windows. – sgiUse the older sgi format. – imageoutputs a sequence of image files and sets the viewing command to the application specified in the preferences by the user. If no application is specified, it sets viewing command to fcheck. The image format will be the Output Format specified using Render-RenderGlobals. The resulting files use the value of the -fflag as a prefix, with an appended frame number, as in myFile.0007.iffThe default value of the -fmt/format flag is movie.
List of frames to blast. One frame specified per flag. The frames can be specifed in any order but will be output in an ordered sequence. When specified this flag will override any start/end range
Number of zeros used to pad file name. Typically set to 4 to support fcheck.
Height of the final image. This value will be clamped if larger than the width of the active window.Windows: If not using fcheck, the width and height must each be divisible by 4.
Output frames starting with file.0000.ext and incrementing by one. Typically frames use the Maya time as their frame number. This option can only be used for frame based output formats.

Sets whether or not model view ornaments (e.g. the axis icon) should be displayed
Specify the sound node to be used during playblast
Specify the start time of the playblast. Default is the start time of the playback range displayed in the Time Slider. Overridden by -frame.
useTraxSounds : uts (bool) []
Specify whether a viewer should be launched for the playblast. Default is true. Runs fcheckwhen -fmt is image. The player for movie files depends on the OS: Windows uses Microsoft Media Player, Irix uses movieplayer, OSX uses QuickTime.
Width of the final image. This value will be clamped if larger than the width of the active window.Windows: If not using fcheck, the width and height must each be divisible by 4.
Final image’s width and height. Values larger than the dimensions of the active window are clamped. A width and height of 0 means to use the window’s current size.Windows: If not using fcheck, the width and height must each be divisible by 4.
