I use VMD to generate movies of molecular vibrations.  First, I generate
 the trajectory in pdb format: example http://www.bmm.icnet.uk/~moal01/example.pdb which I
 generated using the original coordinates and a Hessian eigenvector.
 I then use the 'Movie Maker' option in VMD, which supports a number of formats.
 In the pdb file, all that matters is the element name in the 14th column and the
 coordinates.
 Regards,
 Iain

 Hello there,
 It will not be big headache if we just use simple way:
 - make pictures for all frames we want to display in movie
 - Use any gif maker or movie maker to create .GIF animation or Movie.
 *Gif maker:
 Excellent one http://linux.maruhn.com/sec/whirlgif.html
 Photoshop
 *Moviemaker:
 Simplest one WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER
 Other movie maker which can make movie from pictures.
 Regards,
 D.
