Setting layer rotation


    A layer can rotate any number of degrees in relation to its original orientation. You can rotate a layer as many times as you want, which is useful when you want to spin an object continuously over time. You can animate a layer's rotation in the Composition window using the rotation tool, or in the Timeline window by typing a revolution or degree value. You can rotate a layer partially or completely outside the frame. Rotation in 3D adds other options for rotation. (See Understanding 3D rotation.)
