Hi Graeme,

The easiest way is using software like gifsicle
(http://www.lcdf.org/gifsicle/) or comparable software to combine several
...gif files into one animated gif. You have to manually rotate your structure
say 5-10? each time and save a .gif image afterwards for input into
gifsicle.

Alternatively, you can use video grabbing software. I've tried a few demos
available online, but the result usually is not better than with animated
gifs. Powerpoint takes .avi videos, e.g. movies made with a CCD camera are
easy to integrate into a presentation. If you find molecular graphics
software that saves .avi files, please let me know!

Hope this helps,

Flip

Hello all,

I thought someone had recently enquired about how to make movies of
rotating structures for importing into PowerPoint. I've searched the ccp4
archives but can't find the Q/A.

So, what programs do people use to do this?

Thanks in advance

Graeme
