Re: [PyMOL] sessions and movies

[Joel T. <joe...@ot...>]

Hi Nadine,

To answer the first part, there is a much easier way...use the scene 
function in 0.98 version. This allows you to jump between individual 
"screenshots". You can then save this as a .psw file and view it as full 
screen or embed it in powerpoint. (See my previous post "Pymol scenes to 
movies"). Essentaially you set up view 1 and hit append, then view 2 , 
append etc. you can then scroll thru your views.

The second question, can't help.

Cheers
