Problems Rotating a clip in VEGAS 5 Track Motion…?

[Edward Troxel]

I just added a clip to a new project, opened Track Motion, typed in 190 for the rotation, and it took. I then typed in 390 and it took, and 590 took, and 790 took, and 1090 took.

What else did you change in Track Motion?

Had you previously experimented using Pan/Crop? Just check this out for me. Make sure you haven’t inadvertedly left in any Key Frame diamonds. Only a thought.

Thanks for the replies.
I opened a new project and sure enough any entries of numbers higher than 180 work FINE!
But in the project I am working on…they still revert to negative complimentary numbers when I reach above 180! 🙁 ???

There must be some kind of setting for this, an option or something I’m not seeing.

Anyone have any insight into WHY this is happening? I’d just like to understand it at this point.
Thanks-

OK-

I figured it out…this is embarassing, but it goes to show you that sometimes you can convince yourself that what you are seeing is what you are seeing, when really you are seeing something else.

Opening the new project as I stated, I easily entered numbers into the rotation box and got all the spinning I wanted…
Opening the old project again, I kept changing those numbers and they kept reverting back to negative compliments to 360! OR SO I THOUGHT. After careful study of everything I was seeing I realized that I was putting these numbers into the ORIENTATION box and not the ROTATION box!!! :-0
They look alot alike and are right on top of each other- but I was so convinced that I was putting them in the right box, I didn’t notice it was the “Orientation” box. Opening a new project, with a clean slate- it was easy to put them in the right spot and cleared my vision as to what I was doing.

Thanks guys

Easily done. How are you with ATMs ? 😉
