Generate a single ass file for multiple frames

[Anonymous]

When rendering in Maya using Arnold, I can set the render option to generate ass files instead of interactive rendering. In such a case, there will be one ass file created per frame.

Is there a way to have a single ass file containing information for all frames ?

The short answer is "no". It's one ass file per frame.

Using Standins is one way to extract elements from the per-frame ass files.

Another way is like this
