 Any molecular scene in Proteopedia (or any Jmol website) can be converted to a rocking or spinning animation for presentations, such as Microsoft Powerpoint, free Google Slides, or free Libre Office.
-Making presentation-ready animations is a feature of [[FirstGlance in Jmol]] version 2.5, installed into Proteopedia in early June, 2016. If you want to animate a molecular scene that you obtain in FirstGlance in Jmol, then you don't need the methods below. The capability is built into FirstGlance: see the snapshot in step #7 below (in Method I).
+Proteopedia has a built-in mechanism to make a presentation-ready animation. Simply click on ''Export Animated Image'' below the molecular scene. You can also export a static image here.
+In January, 2018, Proteopedia's mechanism is somewhat limited. The animations are jerky and will perhaps be smaller than you wish. An alternative is to make an animation of a Proteopedia scene using [[FirstGlance in Jmol]].
+Making presentation-ready animations in FirstGlance in Jmol version 2.7 (released January 8, 2018) is easy, and the animations will rotate more smoothly and can be larger (hence clearer).
+If you want to animate a molecular scene that you first obtain in FirstGlance in Jmol, then you don't need the methods below. The capability is built into FirstGlance: see the snapshot in step #7 below (in Method I). The methods below are only for generating an animation in FirstGlance from a scene in Proteopedia.
