I was just about to post about something like this. You can draw a regular circle, attach it to a null, then change the orientation of the null and it will swing around in 3d space.

Thank Randy, it just seems like there should be a better way. If you go through all of wood or metal materials trying to find the right one you’ll see. It gets annoying.

I got it to work right with pblurp, sort of. It functions but after the text leaves the first line of text it falls towards the other and then stops at a certain point and starts from the bottom as you can see here:

If I change -Y to +Y or anything else I always get a variation of this. I can post an image of it in a little while. It’s not in front of me right now.

I’m going to have to check the manual to see which one that is.

I agree, use Compressor. Best Settings 150 or 120 minutes. I don’t know if you said how long it was.

Bitrate is also effected by size. If you check how you are supposed to encode H.264 in Apple’s docs they will always tell you to slide the bitrate up as the frame size gets bigger. Even if the length is exactly the same.

Thank you Jens. That’s what I thought I was going to have to do. I guess I’ll be upgrading after this project.

(and copy and pasting your reply to use to convince my boss to buy it)

Thanks Steve, I was scared that was going to be the answer. It’s not that bad I guess. A few hours of work for a nice title.

I don’t think firewire shares bandwidth? I could be wrong. I would guess no though.
