I suspect it may have something to do with the size of the output file?
First, because the same thing happens even when I separately enable spin
and then use the simple CAPTURE "[filename]" command, and secondly
because I noticed that the distance it gets around the rotation before
automatically stopping seems to be dependent on the frame-rate of the
animation, e.g. if I set fps = 1 it gets nearly all the way around,
whereas if I set fps = 50 it gets less than halfway round.

Hi,
I'm trying to capture a GIF animation of a 360-degree rotation of a
molecule so that it will loop smoothly when played back. To do this,
I've been using the following command in the script console:
capture
"[filename]" spin
When I do this, it begins the capture properly, but stops after
roughly 3/4 of a revolution, so that the finished animation, rather
than a smooth complete loop, gets to more or less 270 degrees and
then jumps to the starting point again. I've tried specifying the
degree of rotation, e.g.:
capture
"[filename]" spin y 360
However, this gives me the exact same result. I've even tried
specifying more that 360 degrees to see if there's an error in the
way the program counts the degrees of the rotation, but it seems
incapable of going beyond that same fixed point. Is this a known
bug? If so, is there any way to work around it?
Thank you all
