  Appletalk?

  “Clips can be rotated plus or minus 24 rotations.”
  Does this sentence (from page 258 of Part II of the FCP6 User’s Manual) make any sense?

  Yes…a rotation, like that of a tire or a record. So if you want a clip to spin in, like those great newspaper shots from early black and white films, you can do so, clockwise or counter-clockwise, up to 24 revolutions.

  [Dennis Couzin] “”Clips can be rotated plus or minus 24 rotations.” “

  Sure, that’s the well-known Apple 24 rotation limitation…

  Very similar to the well-known FAT-32 file size limitation, only it’s not.

  Could it be 48 rotations? Start a keyframe at -24 rotations and end with a keyframe at +24 rotations. I’m just guessing. I’ve never needed to make something spin that much. Seems like a lot.
