It's not GUI-based, but the SLERPY plugin is
another option, and works well. I've used it to make numerous movies
for my classes and research presentations.

Dear Tom,
I use eMovie quite a bit on a mac (Macbook Pro 10.5.6) and think
it is definitely the easiest to use molecular movie software BUT...
1. It was designed for the free PyMol 0.99 and doesn't work so
well with newer versions.
2. It is extremely buggy - crashes, flickering windows,
components not doing what they say they do etc..
So, although PyMol is my favorite picture making software (I
used it to make a front cover of Nature once), it is not so good when
it comes to making movies. PyMol's movies commands are not straight
forward and whilst although eMovie is a great concept to fix this
problem, it fails a bit in its application. It would be fantastic if
Warren was able to incorporate some of the eMovie code in future
releases of PyMol!

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to assess the best way to begin making
molecular movies with Pymol. It seems eMovie is higly rated. I
understand it is a Pymol plug-in, however I gave this a run on my PC
(Vista) only to discover, ultimately through Warren, that that approach
won't work, a Mac is required. (This came a surprise since, in in
their TRENDS article, the eMovie author's claim that it runs under
windows.) I have access to an iMac (duo 2 core, OS 10.5), and I wonder
whether this is the preferred path. Further, there is the issue of
which Pymol version to downloaded. Finally, is a Pymol build with
rigimole required - this is a special (expert)
build that requires unix-like, command-line fluency.
Thanks a bunch,
Tom Leyh
