I assume that you will send your coordinates to a multi-frame .xyz file.

Q: Please confirm

If so, and depending upon the nature of your movie, you may want to put
the character string

=23noautobond

At the end of the 2nd line of your .xyz file ... to prevent bonding.

(This works in 10.00.24 and greater)

animation mode loop <time-delay-at-beginning> <time-delay-at-end>

The time delays are useful pauses to allow the user to get oriented. It i=
s
a good idea to pause at the beginning and at the end. Let's say that we
want 2 second delays

load myMultiFrameMovie.xyz;
animation mode loop 2 2;
animation on;
