I've read all the responses to this question and found that everyone
forgot that this person does not have an Amiga and so, cannot use any of
the AREXX macros for converting paths to motion files.

I've also come to the conclusion that despite my best efforts there are
still a LOT people out there who are doing things the HARD way when it
comes to controlling their objects/camera/lights motion paths!!

In my tutorials on the 1st and 3rd issues of LightSpeed, I thoroughly
describe how to create complex motion paths simply by parenting your
objects to null-objects and then use the nullobjects to control a lot of
the object's movements.

I've done at least 75 minutes worth of motion control tutorials for
LightSpeed already, and I think some of what I've shown on these
tutorials can really improve the way your objects move while cutting the
creation time significantly.

I know that the first issue of LightSpeed is no longer available, but
maybe Digital Concept Productions will re-issue these old tapes or
something.
