Hey, thanx for the quick response. I think I got ahead of myself. This is what I was eventually looking for, for another project, but i’m stuck on the first part, specifcally shape layer 1. What I was trying to ask is how do you get the white elipse to attach to the dotted circle path that you created for it to revolve on? I also noticed the expression loopOut(type=”cycle”), which would have been my next question. I see that the position of the shape layer is keyframed but i’m totally lost how to achieve this. Did you create the dotted circle with the pen tool? If so is it possible to create a circle with the shape tool and convert it? Thanx in advance.
