After Effects Tutorial - How To: Make an easy item carousel.
In this episode I will show you how to build a simple item carousel using null objects that you can make yourself in any version of Adobe After Effects. You won’t need any other plugins for your animation. It works in both 3D and 2D compositions, and you can parent anything to its nodes and make them spin in a perfect circle while remaining facing towards camera.
I can’t even count the number of times I’ve needed this for logos, icons, photos, shapes, etc. It’s a great technique to have in your toolbox. I’ve made the After Effects project available for you to download below if you want the 6-node version that I make in the video. But it’s so quick and easily customizable you might as well just learn how to do it so you can apply it to your own animations.
