I'm trying to make a turntable effect for a certain part of a promotional video that i'm working on right now. I want the whole screen to move in a semi-circular motion left and right very fast so it will look like someone is scratching to a song on a turntabe (--Imagine a camera positioned above a turntable facing down and having somebody scratching a record). I think I could probably accomplish this by keyframing, but I'm not sure how...if anyone has any sample videos or tutorials showing this effect plese direct me to them! Thanks!

Method: Rotation of a very short arc in Pan/Crop.

This would be very easy. You can keep control with the key frames. Nice project, nice concept . . However BECAUSE we don't get makers apearing in the k/f t/l in p/c [ got that ? he he he ] . . . it's gonna be trial and error to get the scratchy thing to keep in time with the visuals - yeah? Wish you lived here in London we could sort it out in a matter of minutes . .honest! Quick response is - YES you can do it . . .

As Grazie suggests, its very possible to do this with Pan/Crop. I assume you are doing it to music. I would tap out the moves with the “M” key to drop markers where the scratches are. Then go back and keyframe to each marker by placing your cursor on the maker on the timeline and then rotating with Pan/Crop.

But Grazie, you do get markers appearing in the k/f t/l in p/c. It's the g/ms that don't have 'em.

Okay Torsie! I've just come back from the Gym . . maybe my brain cell aint in gear yet . .Generated Media doesn't have the "locked" cursor - I wasn't talking 'bout that - agreed ?. .But where the Markers??? Hmmm.... ? How do I get the Markers to appear in the "k/f - t/l - p/c" . . yeah? I know I can "see" the cursor from the main timeline within this . . . but markers?

Grazie

The Gym???
Okay, no markers. You see the cursor posish and that's it. BUT (another thing): When you've made one jump over how many keyframes it takes, you can select them all (regular Windows procedure) and Ctrl-drag or copy-paste the lot of them as much as you like.

I didn't have you down as a Gymmer.
