Morph conformation: Starting all movies in the same time

Dear all, I have 4 MD movies (corresponding to 4 morph conformations) in the viewport like in the image below. Is it possible to start all the movies in the same time? It would be thus possible to better appreciate visually how much far or close are the different deformations. Thanks Damien Chimera

Hi Damien, You could try putting four coordset commands together with semicolons, e.g. something like: coordset #0 1,100; coordset #1 1,100; coordset #2 1,100; coordset #3 1,100 That should all be one line... the e-mail program may break it up. You would substitute the model numbers of your morph trajectories and frame numbers as appropriate, and you could include other "coordset" options. <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/coordset.html> I'm not completely sure they would start simultaneously, but that's my best guess of what to try.

As far as I know, they should start at the same time. If they don't, let us know! --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu

Hi Damien, I improved the coordset command so you can say coordset #0-3 1,100 in tonight's Chimera daily builds. (Will not be in the Chimera 1.6 release candidate though.) Using multiple commands separated by semicolons or the above single command will play all trajectories in sync. Tom

As far as I know, they /should/ start at the same time. If they don't, let us know!
