Hi,
Thank you for your reply, Joel. I have followed that advice, downloaded
v0.98 and tried using the scene function, but I didn't mention yesterday
that I load and delete several dozen *.pdb files during the original movie
and this appears to be a problem as the scene function does not restore
deleted data. (Basically I want to take a few shots of the first structure,
then move on to the second and delete the first, take a few more shots and
move on to the third, etc. When I call the first scene, after deleting the
first structure, the result is empty.) Do you have any other suggestions? I
also did not specify that I am hoping to find a solution that will allow the
structures to be manipulated as usual (not just a static representation of
the structures at a given time). I do not know if this is or is not the case
when using a *.psw with embedded scenes.
Would it maybe be possible to write a script containing load commands for
each of the different *.pse (or *.psw - I'm not sure of the difference
between the 2) files, seperated by some kind of "wait until key pressed"
command. If so, what is the second command?
As for the other problem I mentionned, it doesn't happen with v0.98.
Thanks again.
Nadine
Hi Nadine,
To answer the first part, there is a much easier way...use the scene
function in 0.98 version. This allows you to jump between individual
"screenshots". You can then save this as a .psw file and view it as full
screen or embed it in powerpoint. (See my previous post "Pymol scenes to
movies"). Essentaially you set up view 1 and hit append, then view 2 ,
append etc. you can then scroll thru your views.
The second question, can't help.
Cheers

Hi,
I have come across a problem that I cannot find a way around and would
greatly appreciate some help. I have made a movie showing several protein
models and numerous distances to illustrate residue interactions in
different structures. This movie is rather long, and I wanted to make a
very short version containing certain "screenshots" of the original. I
have created *.pse files corresponding to the frames I would want in the
short movie, but cannot find a way of loading these in a script. (I can
view them "manually" by opening them one at a time through the command
line, but that rather defeats the point.) I wanted to load these using
mset and mdo commands, but of course, as soon as I load the first one,
PyMOL's memory returns to the state that was saved and the new movie is
deleted. I suppose I need to save these files in another format, but have
not been able to find anything that seems appropriate.
I have also encountered another small problem that I do not need a
solution to but thought I would mention as it might be a bug (though it
could be due to my very amateurish programming): when running the long
movie (which creates and deletes a large number of distances), if the
movie is stopped and then start again, some distances (I suppose
corresponding to commands given in frames where the movie was stopped) are
not deleted, whereas if the movie is run without interruption, all
distances are handled correctly. (I am using version 0.97)
I am not very computer literate, so a simple explanation would be
fantastic. ;)
Thanks for your advice.
Nadine
