[Chimera-users] Smoothly change level of density map in animation?

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Oliver,

  The animation timeline has limited capabilities and is useful for very simple movies.  To make any fancier movie you use a command script and movie command.  The perframe command can vary a map threshold level

	perframe "vol #0 level .1 level $1" range .1,.02 frames 100

 as illustrated on the movie command examples page
