I'm back and a tad lost

Having started with Sonic Foundry its been a while since I've been editing. But...have a project and am getting back up. Anyone remember a titling effect comprised of rotating stills - as if on a merry-go-round circling before you. Can't remember if it was a veg or custom from VASST or Excalibur or whatever. Would appreciate any help. Thanks, Darryl

Excalibur has the "Newspaper Spin" tool that will spin in an event similar to how the newspaper would spin in on the old Batman series, for example.

Unless I'm missing something, you can do that directly in Vegas in both the Pan/Crop window for the clip, or with Track Motion. I've done that many times.

Ethan, that's exactly what Excalibur does - it adjusts the Pan/Crop to do the spin. It just does all the work for you so you don't have to worry about what settings to use.

It's beginning to come back to me - I'm working on updating all my scripts, including pursuing an upgrade to Excalibur (once I sort out those old user names and pwds. Thanks jetdv.
