Hi. 

This is really easy and certainly described in the docs (what about
searching in them?), but just to repeat...

Animation cannot work from just within a scene file. You'll always
need an ini file which includes at least the following lines:

--------------------Start INI File---
Initial_Frame=1 ; any numbers
Final_Frame=10
Initial_Clock=0
Final_Clock=1
Input_File_Name=myscene.pov ; your scene
--------------------End INI File---

When you make POV-Ray rendering this file, an animation will be
created. 
Of course, you can set additional options in this INI file, such as
Width, Height, Antialias, etc.

Hope this helps...
