Hi Enrico, Crossfade does not do any movements, it is only like making one image fade (gets more and more transparent) when the next one fades in (gets more and more opaque). coordset #1 96 crossfade 60; coordset #1 95; wait 60 The "crossfade" help has more examples <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/crossfade.html> There is another command "movie crossfade" that gives basically the same result but is only for when you are recording a movie, since it does not show the crossfade in the graphics window. So you can use that if you want, you just can't see it "live" <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/movie.html#crossfade> If you meant actually moving the atoms gradually, you could try morphing from each position to the next position. However, you cannot do it with the trajectory, you would need to save the ligand docking ensemble as a multi-model pdb if you don't already have it, then reopen it (then you'd have something like #1.1, #1.2 .... #1.96), and then morph from each one to the next, something like morph #1.1-96 .... of course there are adjustable parameters to morph, see options in the help <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/morph.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Dear ChimeraX users!
I am recording a short animation demonstrating my docking ensemble
# start recording movie record
## play DOCKING movie from end to begining coordset #1 96,1,-1 wait 96
Would it be possible to add a smooth transition between each frame (docking pose) using the movie crossfade command ? If so, how should this command be placed in the script ?
Many thanks in advance !
