Jianghai, I hope I am not over-simplifying your problem, as I had a similar situation as you in saving the sequential images. If you play a movie you made in PyMol using eMovie, it is best to go back to your first Scene by clicking on your Scene button before saving the images. Also, you can use the rewind button on the PyMol tool bar menu. Hope this solves your problem. Sincerely, Carlos >>> Jianghai Zhu <jz...@id...> 05/08/09 10:51 PM >>> Hi all, I am trying to make a simple movie using eMovie. I rotate the molecule 360 degrees and then move to another region. The movie is fine when I play it in pymol. However, when I tried to save the movie as sequential images or as a movie, the movie won't play until 70ish frames and it won't finish the 360 degree rotation but just move to the other region. So my first 70 or so images are just repeating frame 1. Has anybody know a fix for this?

Thanks for the suggestion. I have brought the movie back to frame 1 before I save the movie or images. So I still have no fix for this yet. -- Jianghai On May 9, 2009, at 8:13 PM, Carlos Huerta wrote: > Jianghai, > > I hope I am not over-simplifying your problem, as I had a similar > situation as you in saving the sequential images.

Hi Jianghai, I've had a similar problem. I think it is to do with a mismatch between the mpng command and moving the movie to the next frame. It looks to me as if the mpng command saves what's in the pymol viewer regardless of whether the next frame has actually played. The main solution I've found is to use a computer with more RAM as this seems to minimise the problem. The alternative is to put a pause at the beginning of the move before getting into the animation. In your case I would put a 70 frame pause at the beginning of the movie and then edit it out at a later date. Simon On 10 May 2009, at 02:01, Jianghai Zhu wrote: > Thanks for the suggestion.

Simon, Thanks for the suggestion. That is exactly my workaround. But I found out that I don't have to render the first 70 frames. I used "mpng xxx, 70, 300" and it worked fine. So this should save some rendering time. -- Jianghai On May 10, 2009, at 7:59 AM, Simon Kolstoe wrote: > Hi Jianghai, > > I've had a similar problem.
