    How can I take a picture or video and have it do a perfect circle? I am getting the motion lines and I am clicking on the keyframes of the blue line but cannot make a perfect circle?

    Thanks in advance!

    [Michael Noble] “How can I take a picture or video and have it do a perfect circle?”

    Not sure exactly what you mean.

    Are you trying to rotate the picture or have it move in a circle around the frame?

    I am fairly certain he means a circular motion path.

    Yes, that is what I mean, a perfect motion circle, real nice and slow, I cannot seem to grab the handles on the motion path, does anyone know a way to do it, it seems like one of those Apple things where all I have to do is hold option or control.

    Thanks

    To get a perfect circle in FCP would be quite difficult because you would need to keyframe the while thing. Look into using Motion where you can set a motion path that an object will follow.
