I made an example VEG file of how to do this quite a while ago - it's on the sundancemedia site, "sunshine rotator" but you can also download it from THIS LOCATION

You basically set up the letters on seperate tracks, and then control all of these tracks with the motion of a single parent track - you should be able to make sense of this by examining the sample project above.

Ahh... The old use a different track for each letter trick. That could work!

Wow, I had no idea you could control the motion of multiple tracks with a parent track by compositing them. That’s a great trick. I learn something new every day on this forum.

Well lets see, if you want to be more dramatic another approach would be to do it so the words are 3D and actually rotate around a globe that's the earth with it slowly revolving on its axis and the letters one by one disappearing behind the earth. That's cool, but over used.

The problem would be how many words, and the size of the earth. If you got a lot to say the letters got to be small or the globe big. Better for short messages.

There is no such thing as a "circular font" You need to alter the "Z" space and set up a path. While you cn do it in Vegas, with track motion, pan/crop and the 3D pluginPac too much a pain that way and much simpler if you do it in a 3D application or something that supports more math functions. For example its easy in Flash.
