Dear Omid, I changed the "Subject" since this is a new topic...
There is a movie-making summary page in the ChimeraX User Guide:
https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/movies.html
That page lists several animation commands, and the "see also" list includes links to movie-making tutorials.
One of the examples is this "morphing movie" feature highlight, which includes the ChimeraX command scripts (.cxc files) that were used. https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/features.html#morphing
Normally you would do all the setup once, then save a session, then iteratively develop a series of commands that would execute (and eventually record) the movie content starting from that session. https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/save.html#session
I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Dear ChimeraX community,
I am looking to make a complicated movie in ChimeraX and not just a rotation around a structure. I was wondering if there are any links or sites that you can recommend for all the useful commands/tips for making movies.
Thanks, Omid
