Generate profiling data

To generate profiling data using the MEL Profiler

1. In Maya, launch the MEL Profiler. See Launch the MEL Profiler.
2. Select Profiling > Start to begin the profiling process.
3. Run the workflow you want to profile.

   MEL procedures that are used in the workflow appear in the MEL Profiler as it runs.

4. When your workflow is done, select Profiling > Stop.

   The profiling process stops. Each procedure included in the profiling data is color coded based on its Percent of Runtime value:

   • If the Percent of Runtime is greater than 10%, the color is green.
   • If the Percent of Runtime is greater than 25%, the color is yellow.
   • If the Percent of Runtime is greater than 50%, the color is red.
