high resolution animation in chimera
Dear Chimera Developing team,
I am trying to make an animation using chimera. But it looks like that the animation output is poor quality, seems less dpi. How to get a high resolution animation, say 300 dpi, suing chimera?
Thank you very much,
Shanti Pal

Dear Shanti Pal, You didn’t say if you were using the “movie” command or the Animation tool. In addition to the dpi (pixel width and height) you may also want to consider the image-supersampling and movie quality settings.
With the command “movie record” there are options “supersample” and “size” and for “movie encode” there is a “quality” option, with explanations here: http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/movie.html#record-options http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/movie.html#encode-options
In the Animation tool graphical interface, clicking the red recording button shows another dialog with recording options. In that, see Rendering with Chimera, Supersample, and in its Advanced Options, Quality. Although the size is not shown in this dialog you can enter the same “size X,Y” option (where X and Y are the numbers of pixels for width and height) as would be used with the “movie record” command in the area marked “Additional recording options”. http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/home/meng/docs/ContributedSoftware/animation/animation.html#recording
If you didn’t specify size, it would be the same as your Chimera window.

Dear Elaine,
Thanks for replying.
I am using commands to make animations.
The commands are given here
*windowsize 800 600*
*movie encode output movie.avi high quality bitrate 10000*
But somehow the resolution of the animation si not coming good, then set the max window size and it looks better than the earlier.

Use a movie file with a “.mp4” suffix to get a modern H.264 video encoding. Every other format in Chimera will produce an archaic video encoding whose quality for a given file size will be much worse.

Just remember that you can use the “size” option of “movie record” as described in my reply if you want a bigger size than your window… it could even be bigger than your computer screen. Elaine

Dear all, Is there any example for tetrahedral sulphide bonds.
CB-S1B (0.7) |1.8 A CB-S2....S1A*...S3-CB 2A . 2A . 2A . S4 | CB
S1 containing Cys adopt alternate conformation (S1A and S1B) with occupies of 0.7 and 0.3.
S1A position occupied by Zn ion with ~0.7.
Any input will be appreciated.
Thanks Yoga

Dear Elaine, Recently I have determined this sulfide bond motif containing structure and I would like to know that any exiting PDB having this motif. Thanks Yoga

Dear Yoga, That is not really a Chimera question… maybe you can try searching some structure databases:
RCSB PDB search http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/secondary.do?p=v2/secondary/search.jsp#search_advanced-search
There is also the Cambridge Structural Database for small molecules. https://www.ccdc.cam.ac.uk/
Good luck, Elaine
