How can i export blendshapes from zbrush as a video ? i know about "movie" option in zbrush for recording a video or timelapse, but is there any way to animate this in zb?
or maybe in maya?

like this:

Take screenshots, make a gif from images. I don't get why this seems difficult? Unless I'm misunderstanding the question.

Could also just simply record your screen with something like OBS, engage the blend shapes, convert recorded mp4 -> gif.

but that would be like hundreds of images, i need something faster, like exporting a video from zb. But since there is no option like that maybe i could just record it

FYI that GIF only has 4 frames, which have been repeated to make 13 frames.

I wonder if you can animate it like this?

Seach for LICEcap, its great to record gifs right from the screen.

Actually did this in the topic i just posted. I imported the two models in blender, then used one model as the blendshape of the other, then rendered a simple animation of the transition using the workbench render engine (which simply is blender's viewport renderer). I had then one image per frame, that i opened in Photoshop using the "image sequence" checkbox, then "save for web" to export in gif.
