Whenever I try to export my animation as a .mov, Maya always gives me "Error: Could not save file." Is there any way to fix this? I'm running this on Windows XP, if that changes anything.

Do you have the latest quicktime installed? Im not sure if you even would need QT pro to be able to export out as mov, but I dont think so. It should work, could you open the script listener and see if you get more errors? :)

pv_performAction "E:/Stuff/Maya/New_Project/asdf.mov" "move";
file -op "precision=6;attrNames=" -typ "move" -pr -ea "E:/Stuff/Maya/New_Project/asdf.mov";
movOut -file "E:/Stuff/Maya/New_Project/asdf.mov" -precision 6;
// Error: No usable attributes were found. //
// Error: Could not save file. //

That's what I get in the script editor whenever I try to save it. I'm assuming the problem is the, "Error: No usable attributes were found." How exactly do I fix that?

You could always just export it as an avi and set all avi's to open with quicktime and then if you have quicktime pro you could export it and save it as a .mov.

... oh duh. I didn't see the render as .avi and all that. I just thought that .mov was the only way. Thanks for your help.
