Editing MovieSchool 3 (section)

== Movie Making &amp; the PyMOL GUI ==
For those people who prefer to use the mouse alot in PyMOL, this page is for you.  The GUI is also quite useful for doing some basic utility functions like appending the rocking/rolling of a molecule in your movie.

* These screenshots are all current as of PyMOL 1.2b8.

=== Basic TK GUI ===

==== Movie Menu ====

* '''Append''' just adds X seconds to the end of your movie.  This is the equivalent of '''[[madd]] 1 x(FPS*time)'''.  So, you can very easily add anywhere from 1/4s to 60 seconds to your video.  You can use this multiple times.

* '''Frame Rate''' submenu that controls the frame rate of your movie in frames per second.  It also controls whether or not the frame openGL screen frame rate is shown.

==== Scene Menu ====
For storing our scenes, we can issue the ''[[scene]] store'' command or '''[[mview]] store scene=sceneName''' command.  You can also use the mouse and store/recall/clear scenes.

===== Scene's Recall Submenu =====
This menu shows the first 12 scenes stored by F-key that you can recall (if they were stored).  Please take note of the '''[[Scene_buttons|Buttons]]''' menu.  This make a small menu of scenes in the lower left hand corner of your openGL screen.  Very handy for roving through, moving around and switching to scenes.

==== Mouse Menu ====
There is a new mouse mode called [[Three_Button_Motions]].  So we now have View->Edit-Motions as mouse modes.  See [[Config_Mouse]].
