Aaron,
I don’t think I can manually change the TC of the QT I have already captured in FCP.
Can I?

Thanks Steven,
Now, I was just informed they’re trying to open the OMF on with AVID, not on PRO TOOLS.
Should that matter? Can Avid read the omf FCP exports?

Thanks, Jeremy.

Hey guys,
Thanks a lot for all the answers. I ended up achieving what I wanted using my basic skills…
I laid all the arrows in a comp, kept the anchor point in the center of the arrows and rotate them in one direction. I then nested that comp and rotated it in the opposite direction replicating the same speed of the arrows’ spinning movement.
It worked pretty well. I’ll definitelly save the comments posted here. I’m sure they’ll be useful in the future!
Thanks again!

The only way I got it to work was to draw a circualr mask shape that described the motion I want the arrow to describe and paste into the arrow position atributes. The arrow kept its direction as the orbit motion was executed.
The problem is that I have 5 of those arrows spread along this orbit and every time I paste the path into each one of their position attributes they all get stacked, falling on the same place.
Still looking for another solution…

Hey Dave,
Thanks for your response. I did what you suggested but the tip of the arrow, instead of keeping its vertical position, now is moving on the opposite direction of the circular path described by the null object.
I tried: 1) setting the arrow’s anchor point to the center of the comp and 2)setting the anchor point to match the center of my arrow layer and none of it worked.
Am I missing something?

Thanks a lot, guys.
I’m sorry if I wasn’t so clear… because the tempo of the music is so fast, I basically want the movement to occur every other beat.
I’ll try both tips you guys gave me though. I’m sure one of them will work out.

Hey Adriano.
I think I fixed the problem. For some reason, I got rid of the very first word on the expression “transform.” Once it started on “position” it worked fine.
The only problem is multiplying the layers many many times… There has to be a simpler way then duplicating it over and over again.
Anyway, I really apreciate your help!

Hey Adriano,
Thanks for posting the expression… I’m getting an error message though: Class “Global” has no property or method named “transform”.
Error occurrred at line 3.Where’s the beef?
Obrigado!
