How to rotate (loop) images

Hi

  • Place the image on the timeline (or specific overlay track)
  • Click the FX  on the clip and select the Rotate effect.
  • For a fixed rotation just enter a value or set the slider in the Rotation box or drag the red spot around the circle in the clip preview....
  • aa.jpg
  • For an animated rotation slide the red graph line cursor to the left (start of the clip) and set a starting rotation value.
  • Click the small green + with the red line to set a keyframe.
  • Slide the cursor line (or play the clip) to a new position and rotate the clip again using the preview screen red spot or move the rotation slider and then create a new keyframe.
  • The clip will now rotate between the values you set when it is played.

Setting several keyframes and varying the degree of rotation each time the clip can be made to rotate forwards or backwards as required.

If you want to use the same rotation effect on subsequent clips then save it first time as an Effect Chain Template by clicking the blue cassette tab. Give it a name and it will now appear in the Templates section of the effects list when you click the FX for other clips.

Sounds like 'looping' is what you're after.

You can copy/paste the sequence content repeatedly, and even loop it in Videopad preview.  But the exported video won't do this...unless you configure same in a player.

As an example, MPC-BE can repeat a video endlessly.  image.png     You could then include its output in your podcast.

Hi

:D  OK,  see what you mean.:lol:    As Borate says, VP produces a start to finish video, the content of which plays once. If you have a series of clips/images on the timeline, you CAN click the + that follows Sequence 1 X  at the left end of the tracks. This places a copy of the timeline in the Sequence bin. You can then keep adding this copy to the end of the project. so all the clips repeat but  of course it' just makes the project longer. There is no control in VP that makes the project replay over and over again.

That is a feature usually found on whatever player you use.

VLC for example.... aa.jpg
