Help required in making layers move along a path

[Steve Roberts]

Here’s one way:

1. Make a new solid the size of the comp.
2. Using the circle mask tool, hold down the shift key and drag the mouse to create a circle mask on that solid.
3. With the solid layer selected, hit the M key to reveal mask properties. Select the word “mask”, and edit>copy.
4. Reveal the position property of the bull layer by selecting the bull layer and hitting the P key. Highlight the word “position”.
5. edit>paste. The bull should now move in a circle that matches the circular mask.
6. You can delete the masked solid if you like.

To adjust the speed of the path, drag the first and/or last keyframe. The others will follow.

u have composed wrong the word “mask”, it should read “mask shape” than it would work.
