[Chimera-users] Smooth Trajectory in MD Movie Tool

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Yan,
	Chimera doesn't yet support smoothing per se.  What you can do is  
use "Hold selection steady" in MD Movie's Actions menu to hold one or  
more atoms (possibly all atoms) as steady as possible across the  
trajectory -- which will mostly eliminate the translational component  
of the "shakiness".  This "holding steady" is most useful for small- 
molecule trajectories and replica-exchange trajectories.
