Dear Sir,

To fix that in the Optional Flags field on the second row enter "%f --fcheck --range=%s-%e/%b --fps=%r" without the inverted commas.

Best Regards,

Works great, thanks!

EDIT: Whoops! I get an incorrect sequence length. Original has 200 Frames @ 25fps, pdPlayer opens only 76 frames when I use "File -> open sequence". But that's not a big deal. When using it directly for playblast reviewing everything works fine.

I also cant get this to replace fcheck even with putting %f --fcheck --range=%s-%e/%b --fps=%r in the second flag option box,
Thanks for your help.

PS. pdplayer opens but no frames show up

Now this works fine on my studio PC but my home PC will not load PDPlayer for playblasting.
I'm getting an error for file format not being set in prefs?

// Warning: line 0: flag not valid with 'iff' output format //
// Warning: line 0: Command format is not specified for Image Viewer in preferences. //

So where is it reading that .iff format from? I have all the globals set to png, the image viewer preferences is set to load PDP with the string of flags in previous post.

Any ideas?
