Dear Wei, Thank you for reporting this bug (indeed). I have made a note on how to fix it here: http://www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/relion/index.php/Known_issue#Movie-extraction_with_first_frame_not_being_number_1 It will also be fixed in the next (1.4) release, but that will take at least another 6 months to be released.
