Actually yes, I believe there are a few ways you can go about achieving this effect without having to buy this template. Here are the two possible approaches:
- Create a circular mask in After Effects: Add a shape layer to a composition in After Effect and create a circle shape using the Pen tool. Apply a “Mask” effect to the circle and set the mask to the shape layer with the same circle. Animate the position and shape of the mask to create the effect of numbers moving around a circle.
- Use the “Echo” Effect: Apply an “Echo” effect to a layer with the same circular shape and set the echo length to the desired number of frames. Animate the position of the layer to create the effect of numbers moving around a circle. You can use a null object to control the position of the layer and animate it along the circle.
I hope these suggestions help. Good luck with your project! If anything else, you can let me know!
