      I have a model with a lot of scenes. For each scene, I have to save an animation from camera position 1 to camera position 2 (about a 30 second transition). This is easy enough to do manually, but I have to be there the entire time.
      My question is: is it is possible to Export Animation via the ruby API? Is it possible to monitor when the export is complete? And can I therefore write a script that will loop through each of the relevant scenes, exporting animation on each one?

      I did have a look through the API, but I'm afraid I'm not super familiar with it and couldn't find what I was looking for.

        Fredo's Animator allows you to animate objects and camera, so if you leave the objects alone you should be able to animate between the scene's cameras.
        But nothing is done with no work...
