I would like to rotate 1 time, fade a color change , rotate, fade color
change, rotate,etc.
Is this possibly, any help on info the do this would be a great help.

Something to mention. You can only do this if you are using SolidWorks as
the renderer. If you are using PhotoWorks Animator will not support
changing colors, materials or fading to transparent.

If you cannot do it in animator, a relatively easy way would be to output
the same video sequence in each of the colors. Then, import them into a
video editing program as and crossfade from one to the other - the effect
would be exactly what you want, plus you have more control over the speed
and position of the transition. Then save it in whatever format you need!

"What program" I hear you ask? Good question! On PC I have no idea ) but
I am sure someone here can suggest something. On Mac, you can use the free
iMovie software to do it.

Good luck!

 

I've done things this way before (with co-ordinated movements, not colours)
and it works a treat, if a little time consuming.
