you can make a movie from separate png files using the package ffmpeg
(http://ffmpeg.org/)
I created a simple animation from a pov file, rendered in PNG image format from
different angles to simulate a rotation. It would be exactly the same principle
with png files created by Jmol.
Also, it might be useful to know that Bob wrote somewhere (but I can't find
where !) in the Jmol documentation a function to write sequential png files in
a trajectory (by "splitting" a quaternion in the specified number of frames
from what I understood)
(I realized that ffmpeg is the package used by the molecular software chimera
to create mov files from png in their animation tool.)
