...hi, finally figured out how to twirl clips...that's movie lingo for rotating stuff...only took me 8 years...haven't had this much fun since my liver transplant...when you twirl, the whole world twirls with you...where was I? ...oh, yes...I'm twirling a clip using keyframes and there's black underneath...don't want black...want to see the video track underneath as it twirls...I'm depressed and hungry...going for a burrito at the Taco Bell after this...I haven't searched the forum because I'm connected at 19,400 kbs and it's faster to walk to the SF server and post a sticky note...can anyone give me a hint? ...much obliged..
