[Chimera-users] Recording a movie of an MD simulation

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Gustaf,
“set maxFrameRate” affects interactive viewing, not how fast your movie will play back (although sometimes you can use it to preview speeds to decide what you want for your movie).

The “movie encode” command has a “framerate” option to control playback rate:

I hope this helps,
Elaine

The recorded movies are still quite “frantic” in their speed since I now have a high frame rate though I suppose there is a way to slow the movie down a bit. duplicating frames or playing around with the “maxFramerate”
