1. Re: How do I make a slow spinning movement so character and scene turns upside down?
Steven L. Gotz May 23, 2014 9:02 PM (in response to mic333)You use keyframes so that the Rotation parameter of the Motion effect changes from zero to 360 degrees.
Start by putting the Current Time Indicator (CTI) at the beginning of the clip. Select the clip and look in the Effect COntrols Panel. Open up the Motion effect and click on the stopwatch next to the Rotation parameter. Then move the CTI to the end of the clip and click on the value of the parameter and change it to 360. It will then actually change to 1x0.0 but typing 360 is easier.

The better method (I feel) is to rotate the camera when shooting.

Certainly that is better. However, I don't have a way to do that, so I imagine that most people don't either. I can turn my tripod's head on its side, but upside down? Not so easy.
Having said that, there are camera cages designed to do that.
It is true that my way doesn't fill the frame so one way to handle that is to do it on a copy of the video on a higher track, and blur the heck out of the original to keep the frame filled. Some amount of blur is often associated with dream sequences.

mic333 May 25, 2014 6:03 PM (in response to Steven L. Gotz)Steven, yes it did not fill the entire frame but used fog and blur to disguise it. Since its a dream sequence, it seems organic.
Thanks guys!
