[Chimera-users] Movie recording does not stop

Dear Sir,

Your answer has been helpful. Thank you. However....

I edited the file and did something like that

movie record

movie stop

with any lower or higher wait it did not function. Ok, having that I 
thought about doing the thing to two volumes at the same time, so I did

volume #8, 9 transparency 0.95
wait 4

it did not function, therefore I changed the wait for a larger number. 
It did not work at all. The same problem as before.
So, I did two blocks  (copied the block for 8 and changed into 9) and 
applied the 4,5,6 etc waiting command. Nothing worked as before.

However, I might have found one thing that might indicate to why it is 
like that. I noticed that while restoring the session, the histogram is
not generated (and I work with BRIX files). To generate it and get the 
range, one just has to click on that file in the Volume viewer.

If I don't restore the histograms, then nothing happens. If I restore 
the histogram for 8 and make it as a selected volume (that is selected 
in the
Volume viewer), then the transparency steps work. However, if I restore 
the histogram for 8 and 9 and leave 9 as a selected volume, then nothing
works.

I am quite confused... :)

Thank you for all the help
