There is no "motion blur" special effect, if that is what you meant.

You could try manually making a different conformation manually (e.g. by rotating a bunch of bonds by hand) as and then morphing from the modified model to the original model with "morph" command, but that may not be anything like what you want.

Alternatively you could try using the "tug" command, but it won't work on structures containing nonstandard residues (most ligands) unless you also install a separate plugin bundle from the toolshed as described in the help links.  I have not tried that.

I hope this helps,

Is it possible to use some visualization trick to deform slightly static coordinates of atomic selection introducing (visually) the impression that they move during movie recording ?
