Hello VMD people,

I am experimenting with a few things in making a movie of a MD trajectory
and had a few questions.

1) To render all the snaphsots from a trajectory file, it appears that the
image must be first displayed in the VMD console. Is there any
possibility that the image could be rendered BEFORE the display is
updated? Oh, I'm using the proc "make_trajectory_movie_files".

2) Any suggestions/reccomendations on which rendering software is best for
making molecular snapshots and would also contain shadows? The resulting
files would have to be able to be converted to an mpeg.

Thanks so much,
