Hi Jianghai, I've had a similar problem. I think it is to do with a mismatch between the mpng command and moving the movie to the next frame. It looks to me as if the mpng command saves what's in the pymol viewer regardless of whether the next frame has actually played. The main solution I've found is to use a computer with more RAM as this seems to minimise the problem. The alternative is to put a pause at the beginning of the move before getting into the animation. In your case I would put a 70 frame pause at the beginning of the movie and then edit it out at a later date.
