My experience may be out of date, since I last tried this around 2002, but I don't think the movie API has changed much since then. I ultimately rendered each frame separately (i.e. different object for each PDB file) using the same view matrix. However, depending on how finely you want to show the changes in secondary structure, something like the following should work: load frame1.pdb, morph . . . load frame20.pdb, morph mset 1 -10 mpng movie, first=1 alter morph and resi 100:120, ss='H' mset 11 -20 mpng movie, first=11 This is just off the top of my head - I can't guarantee that it will work exactly as written, but it's pretty close to what you need. In theory, it will produce 20 frames, movie0001.png through movie0020.png, which should appear continuous. -Nat
