Because these targets are laid out in sequence numbered 1-35= , in order to retime the whole thing I'd either have to move every keyf= rame denoting which target to hit, or rebuild the entire ordered number seq= uence of targets.

At this point I am thinking of simply cheating the midd= le section to the beginning with a second camera in a precomp, while keepin= g the overall target sequence order intact.=A0

To anyone not familiar with this plugin this may all sound like nonsense, b= ut would anyone familiar with Sure Target be able to offer another idea? My= brain is pretty fried on this one.=A0
