Playblast Python Progress Bar

[Dhruba Jyoti]

I have created a very basic tool that will create a playblast with all the desired settings, now all I need to do is to attach with a progress bar.

Can someone help me with how to do it?

Here is the Playblast Script

import maya.cmds as cmds

import os

srtfrm = cmds.getAttr('defaultRenderGlobals.startFrame')

endfrm = cmds.getAttr('defaultRenderGlobals.endFrame')

cmds.playblast(f=test, fo=True, fmt='qt', c='H.264', w=1280, h=720, p=100, qlt=100, orn=False, st=srtfrm, et=endfrm, v=False, os=True)

Here is the Progress Bar

import maya.cmds as cmds

srtfrm = cmds.getAttr('defaultRenderGlobals.startFrame')

endfrm = cmds.getAttr('defaultRenderGlobals.endFrame')

winID= 'PlayblastUI'

if cmds.window(winID, exists=True):

    cmds.deleteUI(winID)

window = cmds.window(winID, title='Make Playblast', resizeToFitChildren=True, sizeable=False, tlb=True )

cmds.columnLayout()

progressControl = cmds.progressBar(maxValue=endfrm-srtfrm, width=325)

cmds.setParent('..')

cmds.rowColumnLayout(numberOfRows=1,rowHeight=(5,5))

cmds.setParent('..')

cmds.rowLayout(numberOfColumns=2)

cmds.button( label='Playblast', w = 200, command='cmds.progressBar(progressControl, edit=True, step=1)' )

cmds.text(label='           © 2020', font='smallPlainLabelFont')

cmds.setParent('..')

cmds.showWindow()

Thanks for the help, but it didn't help that much. Can you or someone be little more specific about my problem?

When you start the progress bar, you have to continue to advance the step value as your work progresses. Looks like you start the progress bar but show no code where you loop and update the step value towards the max. Without this, the progress bar stays still.

I don't have time to write it, but I would say you need to write a function for progressbar that wil be driven by event, frame change(not really name of an event), use scriptJob for that and function should give you just animation percentage of current frame and returned value will be set by progressbar edit. I think that when you playblast maya freezes, same as sims. only expressions and scriptJobs could be live. 

Or just create an expression for it and after blast delete it.
