positioning 3 clips on a circel
Hey,
ive done this before, but i forgot how i did.
I want to position 3 clips on a 3D circel path(mask maby) so i can rotate it.
Every second the circel path turns end 1 of the clips shows up.How can i do that?

I’m not sure how you want to position the clips on the circle but eitherway maybe this helps. You could create a null object. Then position the three clips all at the same distance from the anchorpoint of the null layer. Then parent the clips to the null layer. Now when you rotate the null layer the clips will seem to move as like they are on a circle path.
If you want the clips to stay horizontal you could give the rotation an expression which is the negative value of the null object’s rotation value. (Or you could just keyframe this)
Instead of the null object you could also use a circle shape if you want ofcourse.
Good Luck!

Yes thats the method i usely use(see tut) but with 3 clips its different. They also have to rotate towards the camera, but auto orient along path is not an option because there is no path…

Well, unfortunately the animation is not quite clear to me. Is the circle seen exactly from the front? Do the clips also spin? Or are the clips just always parallel to the camera?

Nevermind,
The parent method works.
