This method will make a presentation-ready rocking or spinning animation of a fixed molecular scene. See examples linked above. It will not convert complex Jmol animations such as [[Morphs]] or those in [[Molecular Playground/HIV Protease Inhibitor]] and [[Molecular Playground/Tamiflu]] into presentation-ready animations. However, morphs can be made presentation-ready using [http://polyview.cchmc.org/polyview3d.html Polyview-3D]. An example is the last slide in this downloadable [http://bioinformatics.org/firstglance/fgij/ppt/polyview-3d-examples.ppt Powerpoint demonstration of Polyview-3D animations]. If you need help with a morph, please email [[Image:Contact-email.png]].

==Choose A Method==
*<font style="font-size:130%;">Windows:</font> Use Method I.


*<font style="font-size:130%;">Mac OS X</font>:
**If you only have one or a few animations to make, use '''Method I without Java'''. Method I is easiest, but you will have to wait several minutes for each animation to be generated in FirstGlance in Jmol.
**If you are making many animations, or animating larger models (>5,000 atoms) in high quality, you may prefer to use '''[[#Method II|Method II]] with Java'''. Method II is fussier to do and requires Java, but the animations will be generated by FirstGlance in Jmol in less than one-tenth the time required by Method I.
