in the meantime:

1. simple screen capture programs are a dime a dozen these days, and have s=
erved me well enough for low-res images. OSX has nice built-in capture func=
tionality (look in System Preferences:Keyboard:Shortcuts).

2. there is also software to capture an actual animation from a Web page, w=
ith varying degrees of success.  SnapZ Pro comes to mind (<http://www.ambro=
siasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/>) but it might be OSX-only.  and of course, =
any software like this requires user involvement for installation, etc.  yo=
u can Google for "screen capture animations".

3. Re PowerPoint in particular, check out this Jmol users list thread:  <ht=
tp://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=3D11843977>  it might g=
ive you ideas...
