movOut( [targetList] , [comment=boolean], [file=string], [precision=uint], [time=timerange])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
movOut is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT
editable.
Exports a .mov file from the listed attributes. Valid attribute
types are numeric attributes; time attributes; linear attributes;
angular attributes; compound attributes made of the types listed
previously; and multi attributes composed of the types listed
previously. Length, angle, and time values will be written to the
file in the user units. If an unsupported attribute type is
requested, the action will fail. The .mov file may be read back
into Maya using the movIn command.
