  Rotating Image in 3D, the “Thin Blade” (Side) Effect

  Posted by Tyson Onaga on February 29, 2012 at 11:16 pm

  When an image rotates in 3D, if it moves such that the Z-axis is 90 (or -90), then the image appears as a thin blade. This looks a little strange. E.g., take the following .veg:

  and substitute any image (I used a 3×2 aspect ratio photo taken with a DSLR).

  Look at the Preview window at times:
  00:00:03.07
  00:00:03.08
  00:00:03.09

  At 03.08, you can see the “thin blade” (like looking at a sheet of paper along its edge).

  It looks better with this one segment removed; i.e., add keyframes to Video Track Composite Level so that 03.08 is “removed”.

  When there are multiple tracks and images and the parent track is moving them through space, finding and adding the keyframes is tedious.

  Is there another simpler, faster, better way to do this?
