Hi,
As far as I am aware off PD doesn't have that rotation option. I use another program from Xara called Xara 3D to create effects like that and export as a AVi file (which PD supports).

Well, PDToots have a tutorial (also!) for this:

Thanks, 1Nina.... but I'm just not in to ping pong balls.

The spinning effect needs to be applied to a logo with a transparent background - independent of any other graphical shapes (a globe in this case).

Please look at the sample YouTube I provided earlier: http://youtu.be/FZxAUtXeuRw

ball, triangle or square rotating…..
I think the principle will be the same (maybe Cranston and/or Tony will chime in with more detail)
If I am not mistaken, PD does not support alpha channel .avi video with transparent background,
so building with mask I think is the way to go.
Other options can be found in other, more expensive programs – where you will also
have more options with light and flares.
( At this time, I think senior contributor Cranston is the most likely to tweak something
similar to your example out of PD.)

Hi old scout,

I agree that one can’t really accomplish the exact effect in the link you referenced, within PD, for the various reasons stated above.
But here is a workaround, using the 3D Like text templates in PowerDirector’s Title Designer, and a round font, that can somewhat assimilate the example you attached.
Here is quickie / unrefined example.



A tutorial is available here.
