Hi David, I could reproduce this problem, and it seems to be a bug with the "fly" command. I will file a bug report ticket and include your email address so that you will get any updates. In my test session I have saved views v1 and v2. If I just use "view" to go gradually from one to the other, the lighting remains correct: view v1 view v2 frames 120 <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/view.html#name> However, if I use "fly" to go between these named views, the lighting is weird: fly v1 120 v2 <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/fly.html> We'll look into it and get back to you. Thanks for reporting the problem! Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hi, I am trying to make a fly movie in which I move from one rotation state of the molecule to the next. Unfortunately, the lighting during the flight is not nice. The light goes very bright while moving and in the end jumps back to normal. However, if I do the turn life with mouse the light is fine. I am using soft lighting. Find attached an example movie. What could I do? Can anyone help? Best, David
