Hi folks - I needed a spinning effect for an upcoming video, to show sheet music spinning in with a slight zoom.
So I made a filter set which does this. I’ve made the spin start and end slowly by utilising the “ease” keyframes feature.
Note - for this to work, I had to make the images into 1920 x 1080 pngs (with transparency) first, by adjusting the size, then using “export frame”. NB You need to apply it to a transparent clip which is 7 seconds long, or more.
DEMO (featuring a selection of images):
I attach a filter-set if anyone wants to try it out. If you don’t know how to apply the filter-set, search on this forum or ask.
NB the filter set is designed for projects set at 1080p, 30 fps. JR-spin-with-zoom-1920x1080-30fps.zip (642 Bytes)
Note though that I also modified the SP&R filter to work with my images.
For some reason, when Size Mode was set to Fit, I couldn’t make my logo zoom more than 80%.
So I had to change it to Fill
Also, I change the Rotation values of these keyframes:
They are the last keyframes of each rotation.
Because they were set at 360° and each next ones at 0° that caused a 1 frame stop in the animation.
I’ve set them to 332° and it seems to be the right value.
I wish I had a brain! D’oh! Actually I tried to get round it by making the first “new” keyframes at 0.5°, but your solution is way superior.
Thanks for the filter-set!
