Hi Jean-Paul, The movie recording script you sent works correctly for me using Mac X11 Chimera 1.2540 on Mac OS 10.5.4. The recording stops and a movie is encoded and plays correctly. We will not be able to help you unless we can reproduce your problem. To reproduce it we need to know what version of Chimera you are using and what operating system, and an exact set of steps that causes the incorrect behavior. Setting transparency to 0 is not the same as displaying the volume. If the second volume has been undisplayed with "volume #1 hide" changing its transparency will not make it appear. To redisplay it you would need "volume #1 show". Tom Jean-Paul Armache wrote:
Hello,
Now I figured when it does not work for me. When I make one of the volumes disappear (#0) and want to make the other one (#1) appear instead. The second volume (#1) does not appear and the movie does not stop recording. I don't know anymore what to do.
movie record directory /Users/jean-paularmache/tmp-chimera;
volume #0 transparency 0.05; wait 3; volume #0 transparency 0.8; wait 3; volume #0 transparency 0.85; wait 3; volume #0 transparency 0.9; wait 3; volume #0 transparency 0.95; volume #0 transparency 1.0;
volume #1 transparency 0.0;
#movie finished movie stop; movie encode bitrate 12000 mformat avi output /Users/jean-paularmache/Desktop/firstmovie.avi
