So in the end you’d have something like this:


import maya.cmds as cmds
min_time = cmds.playbackOptions(q=True, min=True)
max_time = cmds.playbackOptions(q=True, max=True)

# You'll probably have more flags set depending on your other options.
cmds.bakeResults(preserveOutsideKeys=False, time=(min_time, max_time))
