I want to step up my virtual choir graphics. I'd like to have the singers' tiles on a sphere that rotates. It would be about 25-35 faces covering a 3-D, rotating globe. Can anyone point me in the right direction? And if I can do that, maybe I can do the same with other geometric shapes moving in other ways.

Thanks,

Most likely you'll be stepping up to a more advanced effects program like After Effects.

But I've no idea if there are templates for that or if you'll be creating it from scratch.

Maybe something like this template from DirectorZone would work

Thanks, StevenG. I don't know anything about After Effects, but I'll look into it. Do you know if that's something that would replace PowerDirector in the process or integrate with it?

Thanks, optodata. I'll check out that template. If not exactly what I'm looking for, maybe I can tweak it.

After Effects can be used as an editor, but it's really most effective for creating short effects sequences.

Most people use it as a supplement to rather than a replacement for a video editing app.

Although it integrates ideally with Adobe products, you can also use it to create effects sequences that you will edit and assemble in PowerDirector.
