Hi Tudor

Thanks for your answer. I already put “Reduce Interlace Flicker” filter on (0.5) and Fast Blur (0.3). I just need to be able to control the speed of my motion since the movement has to be a whole amount of pixels per frame.

Do you know how to do this? Control the speed so it’s constant? I can’t make it work in the graph.

Thanks!

Thanks for the answer Walter. I know I can do it in my editing program, but my customer wants to be able to do it themselves.

So what they want is a small program where they can add a customers logo (picture file) and have the logo swirl around in the ceiling using a projector when the customer arrives. Something primitive as making the logo turn/rotate/flow on the screen.

So my question is: is there are any premade software that is able to do this simple animation just by adding a new picture each time?

Thanks!

if there is none for mac osx a windows based software would also be ok… but then it has to have an “export movie” funktion

First of all thanks for all you answers! They have all been very very helful! Especially Michael Aranyshev: I must say – your tips were brilliant!! 🙂 And I also liked your autoselect thing Matt!

In the meantime I found some new things I can’t figure out 🙂

13.) When dragging a clip from the browser to the timeline it’s possible to choose to ‘insert’ or ‘overwrite’ by holding the mouse in the upper or lower part of the track. Is it possible to choose ‘insert’ when moving clips around in the timeline from one place to another (in Premiere done by holding CTRL while moving clips)?

14.) In Premiere there is a really neat feature where you can drag a clip from the browser onto an existing clip in the timeline while holding the ALT key. Premiere then substitutes the clip with the new one but keeps all the information from the clip that was already in the timeline (so all motion, effects, in/out is kept). In that way you can quickly substitute the picture material while still keeping all the editing information of a clip. Is something similar possible in FCP? Is this what you called “replace” (F11) Michael?

15.) Is it possible in FCP to reveal a clip from the timeline in the browser? When I right-click on a clip in the timeline I can choose ‘Reveal in Finder’ but what about ‘Reveal in Browser’? That would be much more helpful 🙂 Any hints?
