I was watching a video on Adobe Premier where they showed how to rotate a video in a cube. I know Power director can use a image in a rotating cube using a cube font but I was want rotating cube with a different video clip running in each side of the cube. You tube has a adobe premier demo of how to do it in Premier.

Any Suggestions would help

Hi Jim -

Can you post a link to the Adobe tutorial/demo?

In PDR, it may be possible (never tried it) but I can't think of a way to do it. You don't want stills from each video - you want the videos to be running - right?

Cheers - Tony

The Adobe Premier shows a rotating cube with a video not a still. Here is the link https://youtu.be/xj8ZYfSoHpw

Yes, that can be done... it's a matter of manually setting keyframes, corner positions to transition from one side to the other. Then copying the keyframes to the next clip.
There's a tutorial around somewhere... I'll find it and edit this post.

This is what you're looking for... Same steps, justa different size... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzISpa8WTIE

I found it here... http://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/41501.page

listed under Transitions --> Freeform Transition Effect

I'm working on it Joe!

CP's transition effect keyframes can be modified (a lot) to generate a video cube.

Jim - in the Adobe tutorial, that's what the guy/gal was doing... setting keyframes so that each video moved through the same cycle of distortion & motion. Just as in that tutorial, keyframes need to be set then copied and pasted to the other clips... then you're on the way to making a video cube.
