    Posted by John Lincoln on July 24, 2020 at 10:20 am

    Hello,

    I would appreciate if anyone can help. So I want to do the following: a circle to appear, and then eight other objects (same shape) to move towards the circle from the different directions and stop before touching the circle. Then I want this creation to spin, with increasing speed, and disappear, leaving the white flash. How can I do this?

    Thanks in advance.

    What’s your familiarity level with After Effects?

    You’ll need to understand shape layers, keyframing, and parenting.

    An example would help too.

    thats pretty easy…start with your final design of a circle surrounded by circles and then animate it by attaching the outside circiels to a turned off layer of the middle circle then animate the scale and rotation
