Why don't you composite it using Natron or other similar software?

New Release: Animator - v1.0v - 13 Jun 16
Maintenance and small evolutions
- Reworked the Movement engine to make it more contextual. This answers some valid requests by Pilou and Dave. See video below
- Objects concerned by a movement are highlighted when mouse-over in the timeline. I still need to illustrate the movement itself
- Possible assignment of color to a Clip element. This may help to distinguish them.
- Bug fixing, in particular when creating new films and for random cases where the offset of transaltion was 'unset'
- Cosmetic changes
Note for the video:
- The Rubiks cube is actualling 'orbiting' around the small cube. Orbiting means Rotation by a point which is attached to another object (versus absolute pivot).
- It can however move by itself individually (the small jump)
- The inside of the Rubiks cube is also animated
- That why, in the second part of the video, the second instance only shows the movements within the Rubiks cube.

Some good enhancements. I am playing with these a little and having a point of reference for rotating (orbiting another object) will turn out to be valuable. Already playing with that a little.
In particular, I like the ability to hover a sequence and get some visual feedback on which objects the sequence is attached to is REALLY valuable (IMO). I also like that I can color code a sequence so I can easily identify all of the sequences that belong to a given object visually. I think this will be another tool that can be used a lot.
Here is good example. I have 2 panels of the garage door that I have animated. By color coding each panel, I can easily see which sequences belong to which panel.

About Orbiting, for the time being:
- when you have clicked to select the pivot, you should click-right and choose the reference object if this is not the one taken by Animator or if you wish an absolute pivot.
- The reference object for pivot is highlighted in Orange.
I'll make the GUI more explicit in a next version.

It is my understanding that only the Pro version can be used with Animator. We will have to wait and see when they post the link today.

Idem! Seems there is blend of rotation / Object / General!

[attachment=0:yeoqnx06]<!-- ia0 -->GIF_idem.gif<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:yeoqnx06]Is there a bug there?

I have been rebuilding my Pendulum animation (preparing for Twilight Render) and I have not seen a problem. I thought I did once but went back and redid my sequence and all worked well for me.
