Charles, Your method is EXACTLY what I tried. However, leaving the 2-19 frames blank in position bar caused the track object to go to the end of the path position until fram 20 where it reverted back to the start of the path and began to track as directed. Note that it would have been a whole lot easier if Impulse allowed the camera to have multiple alignment track lines with tracking set to the object you wnat to view. However, this results in very jerky motion. A phone call to them resulted in the suggestion of creating a seperate "track object" (axis) that has the multiple position/alignment bars needed to track the object to be photgraphed. Then the camera has one "track to track object" bar. [I guess this is the "transitive law of animation".] Very poor and overly complex design, ESPECIALLY since it ain't documented, IMHO.
