Update: to get transparent background in GIF:
Chimera command file (now saves PNG with transparent background by
adding "set bgTransparency"):
close all;open #0 ABCD.pdb;
set bgTransparency;
~disp;ribbon :.a;
movie record directory "D:\mov_temp\" format png pattern frame_*;
turn y 1 15;wait;turn y -1 15;wait;freeze;
movie stop;
ImageMagick command ("-dispose background" ensures that one frame is
displayed at a time):
D:\>magick convert -delay 10 -dispose background -loop 0
d:\mov_temp\frame_*.png d:\mov_temp\animation.gif

Dear all,
I am trying to make an animation using chimera. But it looks like that
the animation output is poor quality, seems less dpi. How to get a
high resolution animation, say 300 dpi, using ucsf chimera. I am using
movie record commands.
Thank you very much,
Shanti Pal
