Aescripts Orbit Script v1.0 – Free Download After Effects Plugin
A fast and flexible tool to attach orbital animation to any layer, with Radius, Speed, Angle and smart Look-At options. Clean, predictable and fully keyframe-ready.
Main features
- Center Layer: choose the pivot layer, then apply to any selection.
- One-click setup: adds three per-layer controls [Radius, Speed and Angle] and a clean position expression.
- Auto Radius (Inside/Outside): optional automatic radius based on Ellipse or circle-like Rounded Rectangle sizes and stroke widths (center ↔ selected layer).
- Non-destructive: Cancel removes the expression and the three controls in one go.
How it works
- 1. Select your pivot from the Center Layer dropdown.
- 2. Select one or more layers in the comp, then click Orb it!
- 3. Tweak Radius (distance), Speed (angular rate), Angle (phase/offset).
- 4. Optionally set Auto Radius to Inside or Outside for an instant, collision-free radius when using an ellipse shape or a circle-like rounded rectangle layer.
