Hi and welcome,
Firstly what OS are you using and have you read the help files 2.3.8.1
The Clock Variable: Key To It All.

The INI file is usually kept in same folder as the Pov file. You can
read about it here 1.2.5.2  INI Files

It would be a good idea to look at the examples that come with
Pov-Ray. Try Bong.

There is also a newsgroup especially for animations povray.animations
