Viewing a sequence of rendered frames

You can use Maya’s FCheck image viewing utility to view the batch-rendered images at a speed that approximates video or film.

To use FCheck to view a sequence of rendered frames

1. Select File > View Sequence.

   The File Browser window appears.

2. Using the File Browser, navigate to the images directory for your current project (or wherever you saved the rendered sequence of images for the Apple).
3. Click the image file Apple.0001.iff to select the first image in the sequence and then click Open.

   The FCheck image viewing utility appears and the rendered sequence of 60 frames plays back as an animated loop.

4. Close the window after viewing the animation.
   NoteThe FCheck rendering utility has playback, display, and other options you can select from your keyboard. Details are available from the FCheck Help menu.
