light_source { 0 color 1
   translate -1000*x // orbit diameter
   rotate clock*360*y // move in orbit
   rotate 30*x // incline
   translate <1000,1000,0> // center on object
}

Using the windows version, beside the resolutions box, you have a small text 
box. That box is a "command line options box" where you can place any command 
line" option.
In that box, enter "+kff30" and start the render.
POV-Ray will start to render 30 versions of your scene with the clock variable 
going from 0 to 1. All frames will be named consecutively as: scenenamexx.ext 
where xx is a number.
