[chimerax-users] Question regarding making movies & changing voxel size

[Donghyun Park]

Thank you, Elaine Meng, for a very quick response.

I have another question. I used to make movies by 1) saving positions 2)
'fly' multiple positions 3) record actions using the movie recorder.

In Chimera X, is there an equivalent of 'fly"?   Could you please give
advice on how I can accomplish similar tasks in Chimera X?

I really love visuals in Chimera X and want to use this to make movies for
my new project.


Thanks,

Raphael Park
