Hi Dr. Stone,

        Will vmdmovie be insered in the next released version of VMD as
done with Ramachandran plots tool?

> The new script does better error prevention for bad user input,

> package require vmdmovie 1.0
> vmdmovie

> Enable the "smoothing" button, then enable the half-size rescale
> button, then make your VMD window twice the size (on both axes) that
> you want the final movie to be, then render the movie.
