Hi Eric,

I try to save a movie of a collagen molecule (cylinder shape) just moving around its major axis (along the molecule) for about 15 secondes, then I would like to play the movie in the microsoft power point program is it possible to do that with chimera?

Hi Christine, Yes, absolutely you can do that. There is a Chimera tutorial that covers movie-making in good detail here: Movie Making in Chimera The "Spin Movie" section of the tutorial is almost exactly what you are asking for. Issues with embedding movies into PowerPoint are at the very end of the Movie Recorder documentation page: problems in PowerPoint --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu
