EDIT: See post 3 for an easier approach
Let’s say you wanna use the movieout TOP to do render to disc, but your synth is running slow and the movieout would either skip or repeat frames.
Here’s a little trick how you can make it render offline.
# go to the first frame
fcur 1
# enable record
opparm movieout1 record 1
# loop over as many frames as you like to record
for i = 1 to 101
# advance a frame
fcur $i
# refresh to ensure the current frame is cooked
refresh on
refresh off
end
#disable the record
opparm movieout1 record 0
Here’s an example. If you would manually enable the movieout’s record, you would get repeated frames.
If you run the script, you get a smooth export
