Remember, there's a whole mailing list & wiki dedicated to PyMOL, so no need to clutter up CCP4bb with PyMOL-specific questions!
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pymol-users http://pymolwiki.org More complete answer: # assuming that movie has already been defined in PyMOL # (such that it already plays interactively), you can then issue: viewport 2000,2000 set ray_trace_frames mpng mov/img # resulting images will be mov/img0001.png, mov/img0002.png, etc. Also note that it may be necessary to run the above as a script in command-line only mode (-c launch option) if your screen is less than 2000 pixels high and if the operating system doesn't permit windows larger than the screen size.

I know that computers have a lot of power to burn but if you want to use animation in the presentation later on say 320x240 is more then enough! Remember that nowadays beamers seldom can do more then 1024x768.
