<p>It turns out it was easy to add. So APNG support is in both the
Chimera and ChimeraX daily builds.</p>

Also Chimera includes ffmpeg so you could have Chimera save your
move and h.264 and then just use the Chimera ffmpeg from the
command-line to convert that to animated png. For instance, here

<p class="">Chimera uses ffmpeg to encode movie
files. Searching online, it appears that ffmpeg
supports .png files for output, which are APNG
files. So it should possible to add that as an
output format. Currently, we are only making bug
fixes for Chimera, so if we add this feature, it
would be for ChimeraX. That said, the movie
encoding support code in ChimeraX is very similar
to Chimera's. So it looks like it would be easy
to backport. I'll create a ChimeraX ticket on
your behalf so you'll be notified when it is added
to ChimeraX.</p>

I produce high quality Animated PNG files and it
takes a lot of juggling different computers to
accomplish.
