Quicktime Pro is an easy and inexpensive program that can assemble a series of jpg files into movies in various formats (mp4, avi, wmv, etc.).

Jmol will start, and show you the animation, while it is writing the output files.Ĭonverting images to a playable movie Apple Mac OS X Start Jmol, open the script console, and type: Num_frames = getProperty("modelInfo.modelCount") Often, the trajectory is one big file with consecutive frames. If the trajectory is a series of files read in as 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, etc., the following will work: Images from trajectories Trajectories read in as multiple files You may not be able to see the entire Jmol window on your screen if you set a large size, but the images will be saved at the desired size (for example 1024 x 768 pixels). If you want an image larger than you can achieve by resizing your window using a mouse, it can be set using the Display, Resize method. Open Jmol's Display menu and select Resize. If you want an exact size, such as 640 x 480 pixels, you can set that easily. Normally you simply adjust the size of the Jmol application window to the desired size before writing the image files.

Any molecular scene you obtain in Jmol can bs saved, rocking or spinning, as a presentation (slide) ready movie (GIF file) using the FirstGlance Animation Kit.

FirstGlance: Any molecular scene you get in FirstGlance in Jmol (no Jmol commands needed!) can be saved, rocking or spinning, as a presentation (slide) ready movie (GIF file) with just a few clicks of the mouse.

3.1 Trajectories read in as multiple files.

The images can then be assembled into a single file that will play as a movie. It is possible to get the movie output from either one frame at several angles or from a series of frames. There is currently no menu option to do this, but a small bit of scripting can do the trick. Jmol can create a series of jpg, png, or gif images. Another advantage is that the movie can be shared as a single file, and kept private, in situations where one does not want the animation on a public website, and when the recipient is not familiar with using the stand-alone Jmol application. Capturing Jmol's renderings as a movie enables much smoother playing rates, e.g. Transparency and large spheres, especially at high quality (set antialiasdisplay on) are some of the renderings that are slow. Jmol may be unable to render large complex animations fast enough to avoid a slow, jerky appearance.

There are several possible advantages to true movies. Unlike a "live" animation in Jmol, if all you have is the movie, you cannot use the mouse to rotate the molecule to watch the movie from different perspectives, nor can you change the color scheme or rendering of the molecule. A true movie is a series of images played in sequence. This section is about making true movies.
