Is it possible to make a planet spin continuously for the duration of the animation?
I have a picture layer with the earth as a sphere, and I'd like it to keep rotating non-stop.
Thanks.

request: is it possible to insert in VJ a command that creates a movement in a single loop direction?

You only need 2 keyframes for that. Place one at the beginning of the show and one at the end. Set the ROTATION prop of the 1st key to (0,0,0), the 2nd to (360,0,0) and your planet will make a full rotation during the show.
Set the 2nd key to a lower value, for example (100,0,0), to make it rotate at a lower speed.
And set it to a negative value, for example (-100,0,0), to make it rotate the other way round.

A high-tech, ULTIMATE-edition-only way is this:
-select the picture layer of the planet
-choose LAYER > VJ...
-select the ROTATION property in the property dropdown
-set the SENSITIVITY textboxes to (360,0,0)
-set the BPM to 10
-set the WAVEFORM to SAWTOOTH
Click OK and play the show.
Play around with the BPM for the rotation speed.
Set the SENSITIVITY to (0,0,-360) to rotate the other way round.

If you want it to rotate more then once type multiples of 360* into the 2nd key for example 720* 1440* etc

Thanks Michiel,
I did not know that with a sawtooth waveform it behaved like this
