Hi Nadine,
To answer the first part, there is a much easier way...use the scene
function in 0.98 version. This allows you to jump between individual
"screenshots". You can then save this as a .psw file and view it as full
screen or embed it in powerpoint. (See my previous post "Pymol scenes to
movies"). Essentaially you set up view 1 and hit append, then view 2 ,
append etc. you can then scroll thru your views.
The second question, can't help.
Cheers

Hi,
I have come across a problem that I cannot find a way around and would
greatly appreciate some help. I have made a movie showing several
protein models and numerous distances to illustrate residue
interactions in different structures. This movie is rather long, and I
wanted to make a very short version containing certain "screenshots"
of the original. I have created *.pse files corresponding to the
frames I would want in the short movie, but cannot find a way of
loading these in a script. (I can view them "manually" by opening them
one at a time through the command line, but that rather defeats the
point.) I wanted to load these using mset and mdo commands, but of
course, as soon as I load the first one, PyMOL's memory returns to the
state that was saved and the new movie is deleted. I suppose I need to
save these files in another format, but have not been able to find
anything that seems appropriate.
I have also encountered another small problem that I do not need a
solution to but thought I would mention as it might be a bug (though
it could be due to my very amateurish programming): when running the
long movie (which creates and deletes a large number of distances), if
the movie is stopped and then start again, some distances (I suppose
corresponding to commands given in frames where the movie was stopped)
are not deleted, whereas if the movie is run without interruption, all
distances are handled correctly. (I am using version 0.97)
I am not very computer literate, so a simple explanation would be
fantastic. ;)
Thanks for your advice.
Nadine
