    I have an image that I have made it is a pice of paper written on one side.

    The person writes it facing the camera with the paper in between the camera and the subject. Then i want it to swirl around so what he has written is revealed.

    Is this possible in motion. I cannot think how to do it. Should I be heading off to AE?

    You would do it in Motion the same way you would do it in AE – so how would you do it in AE?

    Some would say “lazy” 🙂

    I just wanted to make the point that pretty much everything you can do in AE you can do in Motion for most tasks.

    There is an effect that will turn or roll paper and you can assign a back side to it in AE. I wasn’t aware the same effect existed in Motion.

    Feel free to enlighten me.

    Anthony, that is only if you are on Motion 5.

    I’m so happy they added a Page Curl to Motion. That is great news.
