Replicate hands of a clock movement
I have a few graphics I made in photoshop (components of a clock). I’d like to know how I can get the hour hand to move as a function of the minute hand. Like a real clock I’d like the hour hand to advance to the next number when the minute hand make one revolution around the clock face.
I assume that I have to parent the hour hand to the minute hand but I’m a little foggy on what I have to do at this point in order to accomplish what I’m trying to do. Once around the clock face for the minute hand and 1/12 around for the hour hand.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. AE 7.0.

hi…i think it should work this way…if one rotation of the minute hand rotates in 1sec then it would take 12secs for the hour hand to do one rotation…so yur composition should be 12sec long at least and your minute hand should rotate 12 times for your hour hand to make one full rotation…maybe u can use an expression for this…give it a try…im not too sure coz im just working it out in my head…:)…cheers…merv

Hi and thanks for your reply. I’ve got it figured out now. I had to apply an expression to the Z rotation of my little hand and pickwhip it to the Z Rotation to the big hand. Then it was just a matter of inserting a /12 at the end of the expression to divide it by 12.
It works perfectly the way I need it too now. Thanks again.
