Hi,

I am trying to script still frames and movie animations (time evolution) in 
python. The goal is to do batch processing of a large number of simulations.

Parsing through the online documentation and wiki, I was able to do basic movie 
files using the AnimateReader function, but I can't figure out how to control 
the properties of the movie (number of frames, number of frames per second 
etc). Trace does not return anything useful when using File -> Save Animation… 
in the GUI.
   - Is it possible to set the options from the File -> Save Animation menu 
programmatically in python?

I also looked into using keyframes for the time evolution, following the 3rd 
example at 
file:///opt/HPC/ParaView-3.10.1/Documentation/Book/Book_Chapter14.html#Animating
 but still have issues: 
   - How do I set the cue in a keyframe to be the analysis time / time step 
number?
   - Is it possible to programmatically save an animation to an avi file in 
python?

Regards,

Blaise
