Great, thank you!
<div class="">So, it should also work when running everything from the shell ($ chimerax command-file.cxc), right? That would be ideal, since I like having a quit command at the end of the command file (not included in my example), allowing me to run it all
from the shell and get my shell prompt back when the chimerax terminates.

> Thanks for the complete command script that demonstrates the problem. From the wrong movie I can see that it crossfades from entirely black to the intended image. In testing I find that it fades from entirely black (actually in my test it was solid red)
because when the crossfade command is run it grabs the current image being shown in the graphics on screen, then fades that to the next rendered image. But if you have the file history thumbnails displayed where the graphics is normally, then the apparently
graphics was not rendered to the screen and crossfade gets all black. If you hide the file history thumbnails before you open your script (use the Recent Files toolbar icon, or the lighting bolt icon in the lower right corner of main window), then the movie
records correctly.<br class="">
