Hi,
with VMD I have rendered snapshots of an enzyme along a reaction profile.
Then it was simple to add the snapshots together to form a movie using
Windows Movie Maker.
An alternative might be to generate a morph between two different
conformations/states. For example if you have two crystal structures which
differ in some domain movement you can generate a morph to visualize the
movement. I used the web-based tool at http://www.molmovdb.org/ which
works really great.
Hope this helps,
Sten
