Circular Placement - Free After Effects Preset
The Circular Placement preset for After Effects is a game-changing addition to your toolkit that offers a wide array of possibilities for layer alignment. With this preset, you can create outstanding carousels, spirals and repeat objects around a circle.
There is no easy way to align layers along a circle inside After Effects and, at the same time, have easy editing options. In 2014, I created a preset to solve this issue. Over time, I enhanced its versatility and user-friendliness. This preset saves time and enables you to focus on the creative side of animation. It helped me with various projects. I hope it will help you too!
The Circular Placement zip file contains icons in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format. It lets you customize your KBar panel by adding new buttons with personalized vector icons.
The Circular Placement preset is available for free. Just type $0 in the input field. However, if you'd like to show your appreciation, share this tool on your social media instead of buying me a virtual coffee. Give it back to the designers' community what you get for free.
