What do I need to adjust to get the playhead to stop moving when I go to render a frame in the VFB? I just want to preview my current frame, not have it try to animate.
Hmm…do you have animation enabled in your render settings? set that to off it should just render whatever your frame is set to in timeline.
OK, so the VFB just takes the animation settings as is and doesn’t have the ability to override?
no it does not. However you an enable animation in batch mode only, so then in your maya ui it will render selected frame *from your time slider, and in batch model range.
