time reversing keyframes
Hi
Can anyone please help with this………..I have several rotating discs and i would like to add a drop shadow to, which doesnt rotate with it.
I have it that the drop shadow appears stationary when i copy the rotation keyframes of the disc into the angle of the drop shadow and time reverse them.
I was wondering how to write an expression to acheive the same.
I would save me a lot of time and make the whole thing a lot more editable.Thanks

I believe the expression should be:

I think I see what you’re after. Try adding this expression to the “Direction” parameter of the drop shadow:
value – rotation

Dan’s is better =) You can change the value of the angle property to change where the drop shadow falls with his expression… It’s all in the details!

i was doing the same with yours by typing the value in the script.. As i wanted it to remain (apparently) motionless.
I think there is more to play with here.. (isnt there always )thanks for you help
