ROTATE SEVERAL FRAMES WITH DIFFERENT ORIGINS

[Florian Schlumpf]

I would like to rotate several frames at the same time, but not around a single, common origin, but around the respective origin of each image.
Is there a possibility?

In APhoto, select the objects then enable Transform Objects Separately

Thanks! Works perfectly!!

Do you even know a program to automate this process to make it a video?
For example, to rotate in 5° steps, save it as a pdf and then save it as a slide show or video?

[NotMyFault]

To export it rotated, you might use macros to repeatedly rotate and export with a single keystroke or mouseclick.

to make a video, ffmpeg can combine jpeg or png to a video with a simple command line. Or any video editor, e.g. Davinci Resolve.

Yes, Affinity Photo aided and abetted by Paracetemol

To use the attached macro you need five objects, group them the file below, make sure that Transform Objects Separately is enabled then run it. 

It rotates 20° at a time so for 360° you'll need 18 groups so run the macro 17 times

I then rasterised & trimmed each group and exported as a psd into Image Ready

The only slight snag is that the macro only works on my original layout, you can recolour a shape and that's it, if you move it the macro is useless

So, if you really must do this you'll need to create a macro for your exact layout knowing that it won't work for anything else. I had no luck in editing the amount of rotation either

If I had to do this for a living I would take up Mechanical Engineering, good luck

Thanks a lot! Will try it, but as I'm not familiar with macros this is a challenge!

Thanks! Great to learn about these possibilities!
