#VMD TUTORIAL FILES MAC#
For Linux or Intel Mac users, I recommend using the netcdf file (though you can use the rst files if you prefer).This file simply loads the structures into VMD and then displays the atom selection as shown in the video. This is not necessary for creating transitions, points of view, or even the video.Load the files using the visual_11a_scan.vmd file.Decompress the trajectory.rar file so that every *.rst file is in the same folder as visual_11a_scan.vmd.
#VMD TUTORIAL FILES WINDOWS#
If you are using Windows, once in VMD, go to Extensions -> Tk Console and type the path where you downloaded the files (something like cd D:/Users/Carlos/Downloads/ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )įor Windows and M1 chip Mac users, the netcdf file will not work.

In order to replicate this video I am sharing the files I used: To make this video I used the view_change_render.tcl script to create the transitions between selected points of view. When the reaction finishes, a final transition is played to return to the initial point of view. Once there, the green molecule disappears, and the reaction continues.

After that, there’s a transition between different points of view until returning to the point where this transition began. I then played the animation of the reaction mechanism until the formation of the Transition State (TS) structure, where another green molecule appears. This tutorial describes an easy way for making videos in VMD capturing the screen with Kazam on Linux, QuickTime Player on mac or Xbox Game Bar on windows.Īs you have seen, I created a smooth transition between different points of view of the system.
