Hi Jacob,

Thank you so much for your reply! 

Actually, I want to show how the virus HK97 evolve from Prohead (PDB ID: 1if0)
to Head (PDB ID: 1ohg) state. There are some intermediate states from our
calculation. All the PDB files are Biological Unit files. 

However, if you load a biological unit file to PyMOL, it will be put into
separated states/frames. By applying the command, 'split_states', to the first
PDB file, [1if0.pdb1], you will get a series of objects, e.g.:
1if0_0001
1if0_0002
1if0_0003
......
1if0_0060

After that if you now load the second PDB file, [1ohg.pdb1], and split it, you
will get more objects:
1ohg_0001
1ohg_0002
......
1ohg_0060

All the above objects appear in the same state/frame. But we want to put the
N'th file to the N'th frame. Is there an easy way to put the second Biological
Unit PDB file to next states/frame? 

Thank you all! 

Best,
Zheng

Hi Zheng,
Sorry it's taken me a while to get back to you. I'm not entirely clear 
on your question. Precisely what is it that you're trying to do with the 
movie?
I don't think split_states has an option to keep some of the states as 
separate states while splitting others, if that's what you're asking. 
You could split everything and then write a script to use only certain 
of those resulting models in the movie.
