[chimerax-users] Movie recording

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Dmitry,

  You can use the "model" and "center" options of the turn command to rotate each model about their own center.  For example, rotating 2 models in 1 degree steps around the y axis for a total of 360 degrees

movie record
turn y 1 360 model #1 center #1
turn y 1 360 model #2 center #2
wait 360
movie encode side-by-side-spin.mp4

In this example the two models rotate at the same time.  The turn command like other commands that create a motion returns immediately before any motion is done to allow you to start simultaneous motions.  Then you use the "wait 360" command to wait until 360 frames have been rendered, then the .mp4 movie file is made.

  Tom
