You are a star! I am a complete newbie when it comes to Expresso – but thanks to seeing your layout that you kindly posted I have cracked it! Now I have a “graphic equaliser” effect made from clones reacting to audio. No way I would have worked that out by myself so thanks once more for taking the time – I really appreciate it.
kind regards,

Thanks guys for taking the time to respond to my initial query! You were right that I was rotating the circle in 3D, and you are right again that I could simply animate a 2D circle (in the X from 100 to -100) in order to get the effect without the 3D foreshortening etc. Also, by creating and adjusting a camera, I could create less (or more) foreshortening. Thanks again!
Thank you for the response! I have imported an eps of a circle from Illustrator – canvas of 100 x 100 pixels. Made a comp from it and again rotated it in the Y axis. Again the circle appears to travel from side to side (just a little) as it rotates – rather than staying absolutely dead centre. Maybe this is just the way AFX does this, but it seems a little suspect!
