Hi Daisy,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I remember I ran into a similar problem some time ago, and it was identified as a bug and fixed in a subsequent version of ChimeraX. See these messages:</div>

<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">So, I would suggest checking that you are using the latest version of ChimeraX.<br class="">

Hi Elaine,<br class="">
I hope you are well.<br class="">
I am currently making an animation using chimeraX and am having some issues using the crossfade command. Crossfade will successfully fade colour changes until I try and record the animation. When using movie record/encode, the crossfade function blacks out
the entire screen. I have tried extending the wait times after but this does not change anything.<br class="">
Do you have any advice?<br class="">
<br class="">
My code is shown below:<br class="">

Many thanks,<br class="">

Hi Daisy,<br class="">
I don't know why it doesn't work for you. I tried your script and for me, the recorded movie looks the same as what is shown interactively.<br class="">
<br class="">
Unless you are including data that needs to remain private, it is best to send questions to
<a href="mailto:chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu" class="">chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu</a> so that any other experts can respond, or if it is a bug, use Help... Report a Bug instead of sending e-mail. (Report a Bug will still send notifications to the team, including
any information you type into the dialog plus other information like what ChimeraX version you are using and on what type of computer. It may be an issue with the graphics on your specific system.)<br class="">
<br class="">
I'm CC-ing <a href="mailto:chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu" class="">chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu</a> on this reply but omitting your script in case it needs to remain private. <br class="">
<br class="">
However, here are some specific notes on the script:<br class="">
<br class="">
(1) the "view 3" command causes an error so I had to comment it out of your script to try it<br class="">
<br class="">
(2) there is no reason to "select all" unless you really want a green outline around everything, including the 2D label text<br class="">
<br class="">
(3) although your "crossfade 100" command works fine for me both with and without recording, you could also try using "movie crossfade frames 100" ... however, the results are slightly different. The crossfade command shows movement at the same time as the
fade, whereas the movie crossfade command does not show any movement during the color fade. They are both valid commands, just different ones.<br class="">

I hope this helps,<br class="">
