You didn’t say if you were using the “movie” command or the Animation tool. In addition to the dpi (pixel width and height) you may also want to consider the image-supersampling and movie quality settings.<br class="">
<br class="">
With the command “movie record” there are options “supersample” and “size” and for “movie encode” there is a “quality” option, with explanations here:<br class="">
<<a href="http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/movie.html#record-options" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/<wbr class="">chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/<wbr class="">movie.html#record-options</a>><br class="">
<<a href="http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/movie.html#encode-options" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/<wbr class="">chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/<wbr class="">movie.html#encode-options</a>><br class="">
<br class="">
In the Animation tool graphical interface, clicking the red recording button shows another dialog with recording options. In that, see Rendering with Chimera, Supersample, and in its Advanced Options, Quality. Although the size is not shown in this dialog you can enter the same “size X,Y” option (where X and Y are the numbers of pixels for width and height) as would be used with the “movie record” command in the area marked “Additional recording options”.<br class="">
<<a href="http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/home/meng/docs/ContributedSoftware/animation/animation.html#recording" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank" class="">http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/<wbr class="">home/meng/docs/<wbr class="">ContributedSoftware/animation/<wbr class="">animation.html#recording</a>><br class="">
<br class="">
If you didn’t specify size, it would be the same as your Chimera window.<br class="">
<br class="">
I hope this helps,<br class="">
