Align to path
Posted by Toddles on March 27, 2006 at 2:16 amHi All,
I’m using AE 6.0 and wondering is there a way to animate an object around a circular path. Thx in advance

2. Copy the mask to the clipboard.
3. Select the Position property of the layer you want to rotate
4. Paste
5. This will create position keyframes which are automatically set to “rove”. Just drag the end keyframe to change the timing.JD
