I've been looking for something just like this but too lazy to write it myself. Excellent!
shotView 2.3.0 for Maya (maya script)
floating viewport for cinematic animation.
Reviews Love it? Or maybe you want to share some creative ways you're putting this item to use.

...a very helpful little tool! It would only be nice, if the window size would be saved, otherwise you have to retype the resolution everytime you make a preview ... -
in reply to ftaswin: I will look into the default player but i think this is something you setup inside of maya ? try using the advanced options in shotView. The Weird black screen thing seems like a problem with your player - try downloading media player classic if you want full scrub ability etc.. i will look into the overscan thing too. -
I loved it. Is there any chance to: 1. choose preferred player as default setting(WMP/FCheck) I got this wierd problem with WMP that turns my screen to black and freeze for 10 second-ish before playing/closing. And you can't scrub properly via WMP. Good with audio, though 2. sync the black border with display overscan? I use overscan all the time and it gets annoying if I have to turn it off/on to use your fabulous script. Apart from that, it's a must! Ft -
Must have. Was there REALLY a time when I worked without this?? (just had a little issue with audio if you have multiple audio nodes in your scene. a search and replace in shotView.mel fixed it for me:) find and replace: -sound $sounds[0] by: -sound `timeControl -q -s $gPlayBackSlider` -
Anybody Able to get this to work for Maya 7 or 8.5 for OSX? Any mel guru's able to tweak the code to get this to work! On the pc, its awesome, 5 star rating for me, but i'm hoping we can get this to rock and roll for osx =)
