It's fairly easy to do this using Gerard's morphing commands in 
lsqman.  If you set up an image with molscript/render, you can apply 
the same description to each of the morphed coordinate sets and 
render them as a series of .jpg images.  The image stack can then be 
imported into Adobe Premiere on your Mac and written as a Quicktime 
movie.  You can edit individual frames with Photoshop to add titles, 
or whatever.

I've written a couple of perl & csh scripts that make it simple, if 
you're interested.
