Hello,

I'm trying to create movies from molecular dynamics simulations. In some of these simulations, the complex might rotate many degrees out of view.

I would like to rotate and scale the molecule in Frame 0 and have it maintain that perspective through the entire simulation video. Perhaps one way is to have VMD fix itself on a certain residue or groups of residues to prevent rotation.

A manual based method might be where I export so many frames at once, stop it, re-rotate the molecule back into view, export more frames.

However, I can't seem to find out how to do that automatically. Is there a way in VMD to do this automatically?

Thank you!
David
