Re: [PyMOL] Query for exporting movie

[Jarrett J. <jar...@sc...>]

Hi Tatiana,

We recently released a 3.1 patch that provides two movie export options. If
you're not using PyMOL 3's Timeline to create movies, you would now export
via `File > Export Movie` and then select `Legacy` before exporting.

Best,
Jarrett J.
