Hi again Nitin!

A shape blending option like you would expect from illustrator is not present as far as I know.
The closest ideas being the echo effekt or a simple animated shape layer copied 10 times and
with the animation deleted a few frames apart so that you end up with freezed inbetweens.

But depending on the way you want to animate this logo there are much better ways around this.
You could for example create a precomp for a row of spheres wherein you could animate
them with much more control as opposed to a double-repeater setup. Afterwards you put them
in a comp set the anchor point somewhere at the tip of the sphere row and copy+rotate them
around the comp center until you come around your logo completely.

You could calculate the rotation angle for each row or just use cascading parenting for the roatation.

When everything is in place you can achieve some cool effects by offsetting the rows
start time and speed with time remapping and shifting in the timeline.

Hope that helps!

Some keyframes right next to each other could indeed be the problem.

I know this seems obvious but… another thing I can think of
and I fell for multiple times would be the camera layer being not long enough.
If its cut off early the cam just stops but most of the time the perspective
also changes and you only have a freeze frame.

Also I dont know what happens if you have a pre-comp with collapse transformation
turned on and there is another camera inside maybe there might be some conflict.

Hi Nitin!

I think your attempt is really good so far and you just need to shave off some of the spheres at the sides with a mask.
It is not easy to count the spheres because of the limited image quality but I am sure there are MORE spheres
at the top and bottom. They are not smaller or closer together just more. So you seem to be close to the result.

Depending on the way you want to use the logo later it could also be easily done in Adobe Illustrator with a blend.

Good luck!
