Command-line export/rendering with ASPro10 ?

[Kaspar128]

Hello Everyone,

for our production I want to automate the animation-export. Our framework consists mainly of python so I want to write a pythonscript that calls the "Anime Studio Exporter". (We use southpaw's TACTIC btw.)
I want to be able to export different layer-comps as separate Quicktime-movies, using shell-commands( that I can execute inside a pythonscript)
I read that CLI-export/rendering was possible with older versions of Anime Studio-Pro.
But now the rendering is done by the separate exporter, I wonder what Command-line arguments I should use.. I've tried some, but no succes yet...
I searched the manual and couldn't find anything about command-line options..

So if anyone knows, thanks in advance!
(Using OSX btw)

Hi Kaspar

we started looking into using command line rendering at the beginning of our current production, but then quickly gave up on it to use a render farm, http://www.thinkboxsoftware.com/deadline/
We had them build in a layer comp selection menu into their ASP plugin.

I know it's not exactly what your looking for but it might help as an alternative approach. It really helped us automate the rendering process.
