Yes, you can make a movie with simultaneous playbacks of multiple trajectories, but you would generally need to use a command script because it would be too hard to synchronize them yourself using the MD Movie dialogs.<br>
<br>
You could open and load the trajectories the normal, interactive way, and position and display them how you like. Then with the Chimera command script you could play them by using a “coordset” command for each trajectory model, for example:<br>
<br>
coordset #0 1,100; coordset #1 1,100<br>
<br>
Once you get the script showing what you want, you can add the movie-recording commands to it.<br>
<br>
For my mini-test I opened two NMR structures (1plx and 1g1p) as PDB single-file trajectories (models #0 and #1) and opened a plain-text command file named <a href="http://test.com" target="_blank">test.com</a> containing these lines:<br>
<br>
movie record<br>
coordset #0 1,18; coordset #1 1,18; wait 18<br>
movie encode output ~/Desktop/test.mov<br>
<br>

<br>
… of course, your script could also do other things, like rotating, showing text (2D labels), etc.<br>
I hope this helps,<br>
