Hi Brenton, you need PyMOL's movie making functionality to accomplish this.
# make 60 movie frames mset 1x60 # begin camera view mview store, 1 # end camera view zoom resn PNM mview store, 60 # save png images viewport 2000, 1162 set ray_opaque_background, 0 set ray_trace_frames mpng Image0001 Hope that helps.
