When looking at the vibrations, select Save Movie instead of Start Animation. You will then be prompted for a file name and location. In the GaussView Preferences you can set the quality of the movie, which determines the number of frames that will be saved (and the size of the file). If you are using GaussView this is a painless way to do the movie. Another approach would be to use a screen capture tool such as Camtasia. Cheers, Flick _______________ William F.
