Aug 26, 2016 8:36 AM in response to silverscape23by silverscape23,Excellent thank you Tom and Karsten - that worked!
I have a follow up question related to make an logo spin outward in a circle matching the spin of a record.
See example: https://vine.co/CHANEL
I have tried multiple variations of using the anchor points, moving x and y etc but there does not seem to be an intuitive way to do this. My logo is rectangular so the orbit is very noticable.
Any feedback?

Aug 26, 2016 9:42 AM in response to silverscape23by Tom Wolsky,Hard to do in FCP. Because of the angle the motion looks elliptical. Might be able to do it by animating the anchor point but it would be tricky. Maybe in Motion.

Aug 26, 2016 10:51 AM in response to Tom Wolskyby silverscape23,Ouch, I was afraid you would say that, Tom.
Really don't want to have to into Motion unless I really, really have to.
Anchor point manipulation seems to just move it vertically and horizontally, not elliptically.
No more "clever stuff" ; )
Thanks
Again

Aug 26, 2016 12:07 PM in response to silverscape23by silverscape23,I figured out a weird workaround:
1. Place a sphere/circle beneath logo
2. Make both into compound click
3. Rotate on axis as per beginning of this thread
4. Then, go back into compound clip and 'hide' the circle.
5. Overlay compound click on rotational element.
Its not perfect; there is a slight spiral effect that appears to take place once you move the clip around the scene but you can 'jimmy' it. Very messy but I guess this is one way to do it.

trouble is, FCPX offers, out of the box, only rotation around z-xis, we would need the x-axis to 'lay down' a layer.
But, basically, I would do it like you:
using a circle for reference, rotate, done (here: in MotIon with a few clicks)
