Playblast Shot

Once your first shot is animated, you are ready to render a playblast of this shot, which will later be imported into your edit .blend file.

1. Open your shot .blend file by navigating to Project > Open Shot.

2. In the Kitsu Sidepanel, under Playblast Tools, you are now ready to create a new playblast version. Select Create Playblast, which will render a preview of your shot and add it as a comment on your Kitsu Task for this shot:
   1. Status: Select the status to set your Kitsu Task to.
   2. Comment: Add any notes you would like to include in your comment.
   3. Use Current Viewport Shading: Enable this to render with the settings from your current viewport.
   4. Thumbnail Frame: Choose which frame in your current file should be the thumbnail for your preview file.

Version Management

If you are using version control software, it is recommended to create a new commit at the time of playblast. If you are not using version control software, a disk version will be automatically created at the time of playblast. This is configured by the Setup Assistant and is based on your Kitsu Preferences.
