    I would guess that if this was done in After Effects it would be done with an expression that calculates the distances of the end points to adjust based on where the middle circle is. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen something done like this before. There might be a plugin or script for this though I can’t recall any.

    It seems like something that you would see done in flash but it can be done in some way in other programs like cinema 4D.

    If you wanted to try and achieve this I would check out some expression tuts or check out the expressions forum here or at https://aenhancers.com/

    Hope that helps

    I just checked out Yanobox and that seems it would be perfect for that effects and it works in After Effects. I’m going to have to download the trial and check it out.

    Thanks for sharing that!
