You need to use CubicConnector’s menu command Movie > ‘Set Northpoint For This Node’ so that it knows which direction is North (or 0° straight up). Otherwise, the direction indicated could be wildly inaccurate. You also need to be using CubicConnector 2.0.7 or later for this northpoint information to be stored in the movie where it can be retrieved by other programs.
