Here is my way --
You must have installed ImageMagick. Choose from
VMD Movie Generator
Movie Settings --> uncheck "delete frames"
The above will disallow VMD to delete the ppm frames.
Then from the command line, (in a shell or terminal or console), type
convert -delay 20 *.ppm mymovie.gif
The above should generate a movie named "mymovie.gif." You can adjust the "-
delay" value such as making it 10 or 15 so that the images flash away faster.
I could not find a field in the movie maker that asks users to specify the
delay value for gif files.
