Activity Forums Apple Motion Orbit Around Behavior

    Hi,

    This is a fairly basic question as I am new to Motion: How do I apply the Orbit Around behavior to two objects so that one object is stationary and one orbits around it? If I apply it to one object (by dragging it onto the layer in the timeline) I don’t know how to specify the stationary object. If I select two objects and apply the behavior, the behavior attaches to both separately. There is an empty square in the HUD for that object, but I can’t seem to do anything to it.

    I get the feeling that there is a pretty obvious step here that I am missing. I searchced the forums for the answer to this and didn’t find anything, so forgive me if this has already been asked.

    Thank you,

    Marlie

    Apply the behaviour to the object that you want to do the orbiting, select the behaviour in the layers tab, then drag the object that you want to orbit around from the layers into the object image well in the inspector.

    Hope that’s clear.
