Make movies in UCSF Chimera using python scripts.

To Install:

  1. First, download and install UCSF Chimera.
  • Run it once before installing the plugin; on some platforms, e.g. MacOS, you may see a warning message on first run which you have to accept. This may prevent further issues after adding the plugin.
  • On Windows, install to your home folder rather than to "Program Files". In the latter, the OS may not allow further modifications, i.e. adding this plugin.
  1. Download latest version of the BioMovie plugin.
  2. In a terminal, navigate to where the file was downloaded, then execute the following commands (replacing #_# with latest version number):
  • unzip biomovie_#.#.zip
  • cd biomovie_#.#
  • python install.py [path to Chimera]

e.g.:

  • python install.py ~/Desktop/Chimera.app/

Note that on Windows, you may use the python bundled with Chimera itself, so the third command would be

  • [path to Chimera]\bin\python install.py [path to Chimera]

To Run:

  1. (Re)start Chimera*
  2. Start BioMovie: Tools -> Utilities -> BioMovie
  3. See tutorial
  4. More details here

* On Mac OS, an error message may be shown on first run after installing, see here for solution.
