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.
