@ Tim,

Yes, if I interpret 24fps as 23.976, the problem is solved, which helps in some circumstances.

Yes, your hypothesis about how Premiere interprets “fractions” of frames is in line with what I was thinking. For this reason, I thought it was highly unlikely that there was a solution. I just don’t believe I ever had this problem in the past so was curious if anyone had theories or opinions on weather this is a new phenomenon, and if so if there’s a reason the bug can’t be fixed. Seems like some code could be written to determine the first frame based on the playhead, rather than whatever is happening now. Time will tell.

Thanks for chiming in.

I can’t even remember my solution to this previously, but if you need to resize all 3000 images, just change the rotation of one images, copy it and paste the basic motion attributes.

Hey Dan,

Thanks for the direction to try to simplify.

I got it working, for now.

I had originally tried simple parenting, but was not able to get the text to stay leveled.

I just tried again, not using the position expression, and created an expression parenting the rotation of my text rotation to my null rotation, and by multiplying by -1.

Don’t know why I thought this wasn’t working before, but it is now. Thanks.

Hey Steve.

Thanks a million. If you can help with this, I will be eternally grateful. My stress level is a bit high right now.

It had the right effect but the rotation of the text layer but wasn’t quite right. The rotation of the text layer came out as an elipse, rather that the perfect circle around the center point.

I may not have followed your direction perfectly.

I set my anchor point of my text layer to (-320, -180) in a square pixel 640×360 comp. My Null Anchor point is (0,0)

I dragged the pickwhip from the rotation expression in my text layer – to the rotation control in my null layer.

This was the expression created

thisComp.layer(“Null 5”).transform.rotation

I tried to multiply by -1, and I could have done this incorrectly. Below is my attempt at multiplying by -1.

thisComp.layer(“Null 5”).transform.rotation*-1

Is this correct?

If correct, could there be another problem with my anchor points? Thanks again for trying to help.

Thanks John.

They are pretty big 2832 x 4256.

However, in the Browser Window, the frame size reads flipped, 4256 x 2832. Seems like it could be a problem with the way it auto sizes to fit into the windows or sequence.

Un-checking the scale clips to sequence size button doesn’t help. Neither does importing without a sequence open.

Let me know if yo have any ideas there.

Pasting attributes helps but it is a pain to wade through all these images, but it might be all I have.

Thanks a lot John.
