Hi Kim,

If the pdbs all have the same number of atoms, you can load each of the
pdbs into the same molecule and use the usual movie-generation features
within VMD (http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/plugins/vmdmovie/ or
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/vmd/plugins/viewchangerender/ have more
details on what is possible. Play with them! Can be found in the VMD
menu under extensions->visualization). Better yet, VMD can load the
AMBER trajectory files directly, and you can use those as the basis for
your animation instead of generating a sequence of pdbs.
