Sounds good, thank you for the response!

One final question, do you by chance know of any basic scripts that will
allow me control molecules and move them where I want (similar to the
moveby command) that also allow me to create mp4 movies?
Because when I try to use the moveby command and add my new viewpoints in
the View-Change-Render extension it does not show the molecules moving and
when I create the movie there is no movement.

Respectfully,

Demetrius
