Hi Keren,
Only the MD Movie tool knows how to play through a series of models
for an animation. I tried writing several Chimera marker models to a
single PDB file (File / Save PDB...) and playing it with MD Movie but it
flopped. Markers did not get connected properly and sizes and colors
were lost.
MD Movie plays trajectories, which results in the implicit assumption that the atoms and bonds don't change between frames (which also allows for much less memory use). So it is naturally not going to work for a series of marker sets where presumably the atoms (markers) and bonds (connections) vary each frame.
