Setting the frame rate in Maya

[Ravi Jagannadhan]

Hi all, I'm sure I'm missing something simple here, but I can't seem to set the frame rate in Maya. It's doable via the prefs and in the main window UI at the bottom right, but I can't seem to find a command/script way of doing it. Any ideas?

Thank you for your time,

Ravi

I think you may be looking for the playbackOptions command.

Hi Jesse, thank you for your response. In a vanilla Maya scene, when I try (in MEL, but please bear with me):

playbackOptions -q -fps; // returns 0

likewise querying playbackspeed or even maxplaybackspeed. The docs aren't entirely clear what exactly the value being returned is supposed to be....

Thank you for your time,

Ravi

Hi Ravi,

for querying the fps in maya you can use the following maya command:

maya.cmds.currentUnit(q=True, time=True)

this will return a string code for the format as it is in prefs. For setting it you only need to use the edit flag.

Hope it helps.
