CGTalk - Need camera help

Hello,

I'm trying to export a animated camera from maya8.5 to vue7 xstream. Whenever I use the the synchronizer tool in maya and choose the camera from the list, it has a greyed out number of 12 frames/duration at the top. Then when i go into vue and sync the main camera it only has 12 frames of animation on it. I've tried doing this with multiple cameras, all with different animation lengths, but they all end up the same. I'm pretty sure the camera isn't moving during the 12 frames in vue either. If anyone has ran into a similar issue or knows a fix, any advice would be appreciated.

I think the problem may be your render settings in maya. Sounds like a problem I had once. You need to set the render settings to multiple frames (ex. name.#.ext), set your animation length (ex. frames 1-100), choose your camera, then do the sync.

hope that helps.
