 Spotlight
VMD can now make movies easier than ever before, with the use of a new movie script that takes care of the entire movie making process. The movie script generates one of several built-in movie types, according to user selectable options. Once preferences and selections are made, the movie generator takes control of VMD and takes care of the entire process, from the generation of individual movie frames using on-screen' snapshots or ray tracers, image format conversion staging of the image data for compression, invocation of movie compressor programs, and final disk space cleanup and temporary file deletion. This makes the whole process of making movies much simpler for inexperienced users.
