# The Movie Tab

This tab features some general movies that can be created with almost any molecule that you bring into PyMOL. There is also a control panel that allows you to control the playback of the movie after its been created. To create a movie in EZ-Viz, simply click the button with the name of the movie you want to create and wait until you're molecule reappears in the viewing window. When it does, just grab a bag of popcorn, hit play and enjoy!

Movie Controls

The 'Play', 'Stop' and 'Rewind' buttons work just like the would on your VCR or DVD player at home. Sometimes the 'Stop' button may not appear to work but wait a few seconds and the movie should stop.

Ray tracing is a feature that when enabled produces higher quality images than those originally produced. If you select 'Ray Tracing On', all the individual frames of your movie will be ray-traced producing a higher quality movie. However, ray-tracing a moive takes a long time to complete and if you don't want to wait you can simply leave this box unchecked and still have a nice looking movie.
