Controlling layer rotation with `set origin`

[Pauli]

Hi, I have come across an obstacle. I am mid way through an animation. I have a layer which has moved around a bit and now I want this layer to rotate around a center and so I want to move the origin of the rotation. So far so good. When I have moved the origin and rotated the layer and play back the result, the program relates the movement to the previous rotation center point and there are some weird things happening. I have tried adding new key frames to start afresh but the rotation point does not seem to react to this and so I am now thinking of just doing it all step by step without using layer rotation which is not desirable and will be hard to to as quickly and as exactly. But heh!

Unfortunately you cannot animate the layer origin.

You could put the layer inside a group layer and use the group's origin to animate the rotation from a separate origin...

Oh ok thanks for that I will try it out
