Tracking an image in a circle

Postby Chummy Chambers » Wed Nov 07, 2007 1:14 pm

I have a PSD image that I've imported to my timeline in PE 3.0 which consists of an object with a transparent background. I have a video file on track 1.
I can obviously move that object on track 2 over the video on track 1 in a straight line with position and key frames - no problems.
My question is, can I move that object in an arc or circle?

If I understand what you want to do the answer is yes I believe (somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but you want to change your spatial keyframes to bezier. (I'm don't have PE in front of me) Then you can move the bezier handles in the monitor window to form the path you want. I think that's right...

And what do you think of that, Chummy?

You posted the same question to two different forums and got the same answer and you got linked to the same article from both!
