[Chimera-users] movie frame rate

[Ahmad Khalifa]

Thanks Elaine. I meant the framerate of the molecular movie not the movie
that I'm recording. In the molecular movie window, there's a slider that
goes from slow to fast. I want to be able to control the speed from the
command line as well.

Coordset plays the frames from 1 to 21 at the fastest speed. I tried to
experiment with the perframe command but couldn't quite get it right. How
can I use perframe to play the movie and introduce a wait of a few
milliseconds in between frames thus controlling the speed of the molecular
movie?

Best regards.
