Jason,

Are you able to confirm that videos generated via "export to MPEG" actually works? I used both the windows and linux binaries for the 1.2 beta builds and created an MPEG video. However, they did not play properly at all (as in nothing happened when I played them with different players).

P.S. Great job on the massive updates to this page. I'd love to contribute figures and examples IF I can get it to work properly myself.

The page isn't quite ready yet, that's why I haven't advertised it yet.

I think you need to be a subscriber to get the cool MPEG exporting stuff. The export movie to PNG frames works, and is what I use. I just wanted folks to know that they had options.

Ideas

• Too long, chop up the doc
• Add the mouse-menu three_buttons motion added
• new setting: movie_auto_reinterpolate will be the new setting for automatically interpolating between changes
• mset -- is that true to what's actually going on?

Updates

• Movies are MUCH, MUCH easier.
  • config_mouse three_button_motions or Mouse->3Button_All_Modes, then cycle to movie mode
  • mset 1 x90, or ...->Program->Blank->3
  • Shift-Middle-Click on an object in any frame to set its location in that frame
  • M->Store will store camera -- notice it lights up
    • (Also ./pymol -d "cmd1;cmd2;cmd3" will 'do' those commands on startup)
  • It automaticall reinterpolates for you
  • Middle-Mouse on the movie panel will take you right there; right-click on the movie_panel will advance/reverse one frame towards the mouse
