THAT makes total sense and I don't know why I didn't realize that! In the meantime I have been working day and night on an involved wedding slideshow and have become intimately familiar with more of the features - especially working with multiple objects on multiple tracks. In fact to solve my sunglasses problem, I had built my own sunglasses object in a photo editor with clipart (which allowed me to have more detailed sunglasses with temples), and tilted it - then put it on track 2 and faded it and such. Thanks so much for the answer, though - I definitely will take advantage of the distort and rotate function in the future, though!!!
