I need more info on the animation export types argument

[vinRosso]

In the documentation for the MayaUSDExportCommand, there is an argument animationType that defaults to "timesamples".

Q: What is the actual usage and utility of said command? What arguments are valid?

Context:
I'm trying to export an animation as individual layers to use USD Stitch Clips, but exporting only one frame doesn't give me timesamples on the animated properties; instead the plugin export everything as a fixed value (no time samples)

Valid -animationType / -at values in current mayaUsd export args are timesamples (default) and curves (see UsdMayaJobExportArgsTokens in lib/mayaUsd/fileio/jobs/jobArgs.h).

animationType only chooses how animation is authored over the export range. A one-frame export (startTime == endTime) will write static defaults, not timeSamples, so stitch-clip sources need a real frame range with animationType=timesamples.

Thanks, I'll stick to a custom export chaser then
