Kinemac is a program I received when purchasing the latest Mac Heist bundle. It is designed for making 3D animations and controlling them on a set pathway. While not the easiest program to learn, there is an online tutorial which you can view by clicking here... http://www.kinemac.com/

I decided to start w/ something simple and just created text. From there I chose the font/style to get it to be in 3D. After that I took a picture (whose colors I liked) and dragged/dropped it right on the text to create a texture. I then selected the colors I wanted and was done w/ the text.

To make it move around, you have to go into their 3D axis view and add some key points. Once that is done I dragged my text around the 3D plain vertically and horizontally. Kinemac, has a built in record button so I recorded all that happening.

Finally, I hit play on a song in iTunes to get the background music, launched Screen Flow, and recorded the logo moving around the screen to music!!

David, Can you explain how this was done?
Program, time, effort, all the juicy details!
