Chimera uses ffmpeg to encode movie files. Searching online, it appears that ffmpeg supports .png files for output, which are APNG files. So it should possible to add that as an output format. Currently, we are only making bug fixes for Chimera, so if we add this feature, it would be for ChimeraX. That said, the movie encoding support code in ChimeraX is very similar to Chimera's. So it looks like it would be easy to backport. I'll create a ChimeraX ticket on your behalf so you'll be notified when it is added to ChimeraX.

I produce high quality Animated PNG files and it takes a lot of juggling different computers to accomplish.Is there a way to simply chose APNG from the movie recorder output pulldown menue?Would there be a plug in for that?
