motion path
Hi there, I followed aaron’s tutorial for creating a motion path in after effects using a photoshop shape.
I have four graphics that I want to follow the circular path. At the moment they all start in the same postion. I want these to remain at the same rate (which they are) but to start from different positions on the circular path.
I tried moving keyframes but this just messes with the path’s shape.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well you could just try a different approach. Put a null in the center of your circular path then rotate the null at the correct speed and parent the graphics to the null and then they will all be spinning the same speed without having to use a path. If your path is not a perfect circle then animate the null along the path and then duplicate the null as many times as you have graphics. Then offset the nulls so they trigger in succession. Parent the graphics to the nulls and you have several graphics animating at the same speed along the same path.
Hope this helps!

Try offsetting/dragging your separate layers in the timeline until the images are equally spaced around the path. You’ll probably need to make them circle twice and then trim the comp to the needed frames to make a loop (if that is what you are after).
