Hi Andreas,
thanks for that pointer - sounds pretty easy. I'll give it a try next time!
Best regards,
Dirk.

Tassos, Dirk,
sorry for the very late reply, but I've just now finished going through a
few hundred list mails that had accumulated.
For converting scenes to movies, Joel Bard's slerpy is really shweet.
Check
it out at http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Slerpy.
What I do is the following - after putting slerpy's two scripts into the
current directory and opening pymol:
- load session.pse
- import slerpy
- F1 (or wherever your first scene resides)
- sscene (makes slerpy understand scene 1)
- F2
- sscene (makes slerpy understand scene 2)
- swrite arbitraryName (saves parameters for interpolation)
- srecord (does the interpolation)
- set ray_trace_frames, 1 (makes sure your images are ray-traced before
they
are saved)
- mpng anotherName (writes out 50 images covering the interpolation from
scene 1 to scene 2)
- go have a coffee
- make movie from images in ImageReady
I was amazed. This worked exactly as I had expected. The most taxing part
was walking to the coffee machine. Thanks, Joel!

Hi Tassos,
I found the following article, but haven't tried it on my own:

I hope this helps!
Best regards,
