		+	FirstGlance in Jmol's built-in animation maker also has limitations on the size of the animation, particularly if you want 360° spinning. To enable you to make such animations as large and crisp as you like, FirstGlance provides a [https://bioinformatics.org/firstglance/fgij/animation_kit_instructions.pdf downloadable Animation Kit] with complete [https://bioinformatics.org/firstglance/fgij/animation_kit_instructions.pdf instructions].

-	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/sharper).	+	Making presentation-ready animations in ''FirstGlance in Jmol'' is quick and easy, and the animations will rotate more smoothly and can be larger (hence clearer/sharper).

	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.
