Update: to get transparent background in GIF:
Chimera command file (now saves PNG with transparent background by
adding "set bgTransparency"):
close all;open #0 ABCD.pdb;
set bgTransparency;
~disp;ribbon :.a;
movie record directory "D:\mov_temp\" format png pattern frame_*;
turn y 1
Hi Shanti,
To get more control, you can use Chimera to generate the frames, save
each of them as PNG, then process and re-assemble the frames in
photoshop to make GIFs. The command line toolbox Imagemagick is also a
great way for making GIFs (shown below).
Step1 generating the frames
Dear all,
I am trying to make an animation using chimera. But it looks like that the
animation output is poor quality, seems less dpi. How to get a high
resolution animation, say 300 dpi, using ucsf chimera. I am using movie
record commands.
Thank you very much,
Shanti Pal
