pymel.core.windows.thumbnailCaptureComponent

thumbnailCaptureComponent(*args, **kwargs)

This command is used to generate a thumbnail/playblast sequence from the scene. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags:

capture / c bool ../../../_images/create.gif
  Create a new component to capture a sequence of image for the current scene.
capturedFrameCount / cfc bool ../../../_images/query.gif
  Query only. Return the number of frames which have been captured.
closeCurrentSession / ccs bool ../../../_images/create.gif
  Delete the current thumbnail component (preview image will be destroyed).
delete / d unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
  Delete the generated image sequence and preview for the current capture session.
endFrame / ef int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
  Set the end captured frame. Only valid when the -c/captureflag is set. If -sf/startFrameis set and not -ef/endFrame, or if endFrame is smaller than startFrame, endFrame will be automatically set to startFrame.

  Save the generated image sequence for the given file to disk.
selectedFileName / sfn bool  
   
startFrame / sf int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
