Moving 2 objects together
I’ve got a simple animation question – I’m a complete beginner with AE, so please forgive my stupid question…
I’m trying to move 2 objects – I’ve got a circle and a line of text that fits within the circle – they’re each on their own layer and i’m wanting the circle to rotate 180 degrees along with the text that is behind it so it looks like the text is on the back of the circle and not the front – so basically you see a plain circle and then it rotates 180 degrees to reveal the text on the other side… how would I go about doing that?

Select the two layers in your comp timeline, then Layer > PreCompose. This will nest the two layers into a new comp within your original. If you affect the parameters for this comp, AE will treat the two sub layers as one flat one, rather than two individual ones. You can still edit the layers individually if needed.

Parent the text layer to the circle layer. (If the Parent column isn’t visible, right click on the layer.)
Then, to make the text appear, you can animate the opacity of the text layer so it changes from 0% to 100% right when the circle is parallel to the camera.

ofcourse you can move both at one touch, by applying parent child relation, and you can make this to object into one comp then make new comp
thanks
