Hi everyone,
For the purpose of making educational content, I'm interested in smoothing out the often jumpy transitions from frame to frame in a MD trajectory. My approach was to write two python scripts (with critical help from Eric of course); one goes through the trajectory and saves pdbs of each desired frame, while the second opens these pdbs and creates a morph, interpolating from one pdb to the next. 

It seemed like I was almost there, and it looked great when I tried 50 frames.....but Chimera crashed when I tried morphing 200 frames, adding 3 frames of interpolation between each. 

Is there a better way to add transitions in between (ideally thousands of) frames of an MD trajectory?

Thanks
Dan
