Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Expressions Clock Hand Rotation

  • Clock Hand Rotation

    Posted by Ryan Gregory on October 30, 2008 at 11:06 pm

    Hello,
    I know a little about expressions, but have never used them in After Effects. I would like to set an expression so that when I rotate the minute hand on the clock, the hour hand moves in relative time. So 1 full rotation of the minute hand moves the hour hand 1 hour, just like a real clock.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Try this for your hour hand:

    thisComp.layer(“Minute Hand”).transform.rotation/12

    Thanks Dan, worked like a charm. I had something similar to that, but I was placing it on the minute hand layer and it wasn’t working out.

    I really appreciate it.
