[Paraview] movie with paraview

[Milan Felberbaum]

Thanks Utkarsh, I indeed missed the end value, now it's working.
Just a question though: my data are turning around some kind of point 
that i cannot determine; and it's quite annoying if you make a 360° 
turn, it goes out of the window and come back again. Is it possible to 
make it turn around the center of my 3D structure?
Best regards
Milan
