Overview
Playblast Pro turns review blasts into something dependable: five review-camera modes that decide exactly what the shot shows, burn-ins driven from tokens rather than typed by hand, and background encoding straight to delivery codecs. It understands the sequencer, so it can re-blast one shot or stitch the whole sequence.
What it solves
Ad-hoc playblasts drift — wrong camera, missing burn-ins, the wrong codec for the review tool. Playblast Pro makes the blast match what the lead asked for every time, and encodes in the background so you keep working.
How it works
- Pick a review-camera mode so the blast frames exactly what the review needs.
- Set burn-in tokens — shot, frame, artist, date, version — once, and let them fill themselves.
- Encode to H.264 in the background, re-blasting a single shot or stitching the sequence.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
Which versions of Maya are supported?
Maya 2022 through 2027, on Windows, macOS and Linux. The Qt shim layer handles PySide2 and PySide6 automatically, so the same install works across versions.
Do I need to be online to use ROM AnimTools?
No. Pro licenses carry a 30-day offline grace period. Your tools keep working on set, on a plane, or behind a studio firewall.
What happens to my files if my subscription lapses?
Nothing. Paid features lock, but your pose libraries, brushes, and drawings are yours and stay on your disk. You fall back to the Starter bundle.
Can I use one license on more than one machine?
Yes — Pro includes seats you can activate and deactivate yourself from your account, so a desktop and a laptop are no problem.
Your next shot is waiting.
Download ROM Starter free, launch it inside Maya, and feel the difference on your very next pose.
