Thanks, Tom! Now, I understand why wait and crossfade work the way they do as well. I'll take a deeper dive into the docs and try and find it. Best, -da On Tue, Dec 20, 2016 at 1:59 PM, Tom Goddard <goddard@sonic.net> wrote:
Hi Daniel,
Yes there is a frame drawn between each command that is on a separate line in the Chimera command file. So the crossfade you want should use commands
disp #2 movie crossfade 25 ~disp #2 ; disp #3
where the display of model #3 is done on the same line, separated by a colon, after the crossfade command. You can put as many commands on a line as you want separated by semicolons. These behaviors are documented although there is so much Chimera documentation it may be hard to find.

Hello Chimera experts, Here is another movie making question. I noticed that disp and ~disp trigger frames to be recorded, without a call to wait.
For example:
disp #2 movie crossfade 25 ~disp #2 disp #3
This would produce a movie that crossfades from model #2 to blank, with #3 suddenly appearing.
To get crossfades between two ligands, I had to use:
disp #2 movie crossfade 25 perframe "~disp #2" frames 1 disp #3 movie crossfade 25
Based on the documentation I wasn't sure if this was intended behavior or a bug. Did I miss a more elegant way to crossfade between two models?
