Hi Moumita, You can morph both maps and molecules at the same time. You use commands instead of the morphing dialogs in order to get them to play with perfect synchronization. The basic plan is to create the molecule morph and the map morph using the dialogs as usual. Then load a simple command script that starts both playing at the same time and records the movie. I'm sure this works in Chimera 1.7, probably in 1.6, and maybe in 1.5. Here is an example command script morphing a filament map and fit molecule http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/data/santa-cruz-aug2012/scripts/movie2.txt and here's the resulting movie http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/data/santa-cruz-aug2012/images/morph1.mp4 and here is the web page where I explain how this was done http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/data/santa-cruz-aug2012/animate.html This was a demonstration I gave at the Bay Area Cryo EM meeting in Santa Cruz last summer.

Hi Tom,
I want to morph a set of density maps and the atomic models fitted into them together and run the two movies concurrently so that I get a movie that shows how the density and the atomic models change together. I have been able to make the two different sets of data morph independently, but thought it more informative if they morphed together.
I was wondering whether this can be done using chimera ? If so which version supports it ?
Thanks, Moumita
