Spinning ribbon
Hi – Is there a way to pin the CC Sphere effect so the spinning has an origin point? I’m trying to create a composition of a medallion on a ribbon that starts spinning. I want the ribbon to start totally flat, and then begin to spin from the point where it’s connected to the coin-like medallion. Nothing I’ve tried has worked so far. Thanks for any help you can provide!

I have a bit of a dificulty understading what you are trying to achieve. Do you have any reference images, WIP, sketches?
I wonder if CC Sphere would be the right approach..

I think it might be hard to achieve with CC Sphere. You can get close with Card Dance.
Try this:
Make a tall, thin solid to use as your ribbon.
Duplicate it and add the Ramp effect setting the black color of the ramp to 50% gray, then hide that layer.
Add Card Dance to the ribbon layer and set the rows to a high level (like a few hundred) and the columns to 1. Then set the Gradient Layer 1 to your ramp layer and set the ‘source’ to ‘effects & masks’. Now go to the Y Rotation setting and set the Source to ‘Intensity 1’.
Scrub the multiplier to see how it works.
There will be some separation as the ‘cards’ turn. You may be able to fix some of that in the Y Position settings, choosing the Intensity 1 again and decreasing the multiplier a bit.
