But in either case you would need a "wait 1" after the final "volume region all" command and before encoding a movie otherwise the result of that command will not be rendered in the movie.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> It may be that the wait after your "volume all planes z,1604,1594; wait 10" is the problem. You are showing 11 planes but waiting for only 10. Then it goes on to do "volume region all", and after that it shows the last plane. So you need at least "wait 11", might even try longer wait like "wait 15".</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Tom</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> <br class=""><div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class="">On Jul 9, 2022, at 3:05 AM, Edoardo D Imprima via ChimeraX-users <<a href="mailto:chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu" class="">chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div class=""><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" class=""><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div dir="auto" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;" class=""><div class="">Dear all,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I saved two sessions with different data to make a movie using the same command lines.
