Rotate Text Around Axis
Hi Guys
This question has probably been asked before, so apologies in advance. I just cannot find the answer to this anywhere.
I’m looking to rotate a mov file around a fixed axis.
I can rotate it in FCP but the mov file rotates around the whole canvass.
It’s similar to this effect.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GJ3dCE2wIAIt comes in at 12 seconds. The text rotates around it’s axis.
Please help guys
Thanks

In the Motion Tab adjust the Anchor Point and that will change the axis the image rotates on.

Hey Andrew
I got my head around anchor points.
What should the settings be if I want it to rotate around 1 axis?
I have 2 fields.

You can grab my Better 3D plugin here : https://web.me.com/andymees (its way down at the bottom of the page) … add that to your Plugins folder (at /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins) and then quit ad restart FCP. You should then see it in the Effects > Video Filters > Perspective bin … add that to your text and then go to the Filters tab. You can spin it around the Z axis using the “Z axis Rotation” control, and you can change the anchor point for that spin by using the Anchor control … just click the “+” and then click (or click and drag) in the Canvas window to move the crosshair where you want the anchor point to be.
Hope it helps
