If the filename ends in .chan or .bchan
Writes out the specified channels as columns of raw values with one sample per frame across the given frame range.
If no range is given the current global animation time range will be used. Channels will be output in columns in the order specified.
The output will be saved as ascii data unless the file has a suffix of “.bchan”, in which case binary format will be used. The order of channels resulting from a pattern match is not well defined.
-
If the filename ends in .chn or .bchn
Writes out the specified channels along with their full node paths into the specified file as keyframe data. The chread command can be used to read these files.
If you want to save the contents of a CHOP as a bclip, use the opsave command.
