In Chimera you have to first create a "metafile" which is a small text file that contains the same stuff that you would otherwise be entering into the Chimera MD Movie dialog, with input filenames and other parameters. For full explanation and examples see: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/movie/movie.html#metafile> After you create this simple metafile in a text editor, then you can open it from the command line. E.g. if metafile is /Users/meng/Desktop/mymetafile1, then command open md:/Users/meng/Desktop/mymetafile1 I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi all, Is it possible to load trajectory files directly from the command line in Chimera? In ChimeraX, it would be done as follows: open myfile.psf coords myfile.dcd I was wondering if there was a chimera version for this command. Regards, Shubham
