Hi, I have used Chimera for years for my publications and for generating animations for lectures and invited talks. I found the animation feature incredibly easy to use and intuitive. However I did not find a similar feature in ChimerX. I read about the Morph command but to me this seems much more complicated to use and much less intuitive. Is there a graphical interface to the Morph command or is this going to remain a command line feature only? I often use the animation feature of chimera to morph between two structural states, which is really easy. Cheers, Rodney Tweten, Ph.D. George Lynn Cross Professor Presidential Professor

Hello Dr. Tweten, Thanks for the feedback, but could you clarify a bit: did you mean a graphical interface to morphing between conformations of atomic structures, like the "Morph Conformations" tool in Chimera? The "Animation" tool in Chimera is different: it doesn't do morphing, but it is a graphical interface to making movies, and it does various gradual transitions like fading in and out, and moving a structure from one place to another without changing its conformation. Chimera tools... Morph Conformations: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/morph/morph.html> Animation: <https://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/animation/framean...> I wasn't sure which tool you meant, or whether you possibly meant both.
