Then there will be playback slider GUI, and/or you can use the separate command "coordset" to play it back (e.g. within a movie command script). See ChimeraX trajectories help, and links therein: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/trajectories.html>
Thanks for the help. I was able to play a movie and save it, but there is still a problem. What I did was: open animnew.pdb coordset true graphics rate maxFrameRate 2 movie record format png movie record directory Movies # Doesn't seem to do anything since no frame files (.png) saved there but then if I try movie encode framerate 2 quality higher output Movies/DemoMD.mp4 chimerax gives me an error that no frames have been recorded. If I do coordset #1 a movie gets recorded but with the default options. The only way I got my options in movie encode to apply was to execute the movie command in the middle of the animation playback before it ended, but that excluded a few frames at the end and is clearly inconvenient. How do I record and set the encode options at the same time? Also, is there a way to save the frames as .png files in a directory?
