In my experience, animated gifs run beautifully in web browsers on all
platforms and in openoffice under linux.
They are usually awful in powerpoint on any platform.
(And to be honest I don't really notice the lack of color depth.)
Alternatively, MPEGs tend to run well in powerpoint, but are troublesome
under linux.
One can convert between MPEGs and gifanims using a complicated
combination of imagemagic and mencoder/MPEG.
Cheers,
Charlie

My vote is against animated-GIFs. I have experienced problems with animated
GIFs in the past where they seem to run fine on my computer, then not work
properly (very slow) on a laptop during a presentation, etc. Could be that
I am setting them up wrong, but for this reason, I avoid animated-GIFs
unless for websites and such.
Hope this helps. Best of Luck!

The problem with animated gif is the color limitation to 254 + one
transparent colors, whereas PyMOL generated png's have millions of colors
+
alpha channel...

Hi there,
first of all, let me say hello to all list subscribers, as I'm new here.
I've been evaluating PyMOL for a couple of months now, coming from Molmol.
Chiradip, one option next to creating an MPEG file is to make an
animated GIF. Unfortunately, I don't know a free program under Windows
to do this job, but you might want to look for it on the web, there must
be some. I created a GIF from a set of PyMOL pictures using
GraphicConverter on a Mac, a program that came free with OS X (as of
10.3 or 10.4, at least). The file "runs" fine in Powerpoint under
Windows, and one doesn't have problems with missing codecs when
presenting the slides on an old computer. Just make sure the file is not
too large, it may not run as smooth as an .avi on an old box (which
implies that this may not be the most elegant solution to the problem,
consider it a quick workaround).
Karsten.

Hi Friends
I am a new Windows pymol user.
I made a movie in Pymol and saved the 120 ray traced
*.png frames.
Now I want to convert the *.png files to MPEG files
and then directly convert/run the movie in the
Powerpoint presentation.
can anyone please help me in this regard
Thanks
Chiradip
