  • Spin a wheel?

    Posted by Steve Stone on February 15, 2009 at 4:21 pm

    I know this sounds simple but I can’t figure out how to do it in Vegas. I have a jpg image of a wheel that I am trying to spin. The 3D fly in/out transition comes close but it wants to fade the image in and grow it from small to large (I don’t want that). I just want to spin the image in place.

    Am I missing something? Any help/recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Click the image event’s Pan / Crop button. Beneath the keyframe timeline (bottom of the Pan / Crop window), click the Last Keyframe button and then the Create Keyframe button. Then in the Rotation section (over on the left of the Pan / Crop window) change the Angle setting. 180 is half a turn, 360 is a full turn, etc. I think the limit is 36,000 (100 turns).

    Thanks Rob. Where do I set the number of turns &/or the turning speed? Can you reverse the direction?

    Appreciate it.

    “Where do I set the number of turns &/or the turning speed?”

    As Rob said, the Rotation > angle control is in the Pan/Crop window.
    The number and placement of keyframes will determine the behaviour of the wheel.

    “Can you reverse the direction?”

    Enter a negative number instead of a positive one.
    For example, -360 instead of 360.
