OK, I’ll do that – thanks for the input!

FWIW, this thread lead me to the EXACT solution I was looking for — thanks to Jeremy Allen! I googled “how to stop a mask from moving with layer”, and this was the first hit.

Thanks for saving me some time!

Ah.. one more small detail!

I’m trying to use the timeToStart property, so my rotation expression will begin about three seconds into the composition. I’m trying to look it up online, but I can’t seem to get the syntax right.

How can I add that to my expression?

Thanks!

hi Xinlai Ni – thanks so much for your response! It’s just what I needed. This is such a huge help.

Sorry for not clarifying what I mean. The cylinder scrolls the background behind the object, while the object only goes through small rotational changes to suggest tumbling through the air..

One more small question, though: what would I need to add to achieve a plateau to my speed? How would I specify an end to the acceleration, resulting in a constant rate? I see that adding a keyframe doesn’t necessarily stop the expression … perhaps I am missing something.
