looks like scenes do not save settings. What you need is the "mdo" command to register the transparency with a particular movie frame. http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Mdo Example: mdo 1: set transparency, 0.0 mdo 100: set transparency, 0.6 This might also be interesting for you: http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Movie_fade > Second, how can I make an object (ligand shown as stciks) rotate or > flip? I can make it move using "translate" but this happens in a linear > fashion. not sure about this right now, but does "matrix_mode" make a difference? set matrix_mode, 1 See: http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/MovieSchool_5#Object_Motions > Lastly, I like to save movies as pngs and later create the movie.
