In this After Effects Tutorial I’ll show you, how to animate a geometric and abstract loop - using the “create nulls from paths” script!
Download the project file here:
The “Create Nulls from Paths” Script, is built in - since After Effects 2018.
First, we create a square shape, which we transform into a bezier path and the use the script, which creates four null objects.
They have the exact same position as the 4 corner points of the square.
Next, we’ll animate the square - the 4 null objects follow - and link shapes to the null objects.
This way, you can get some crazy results - very easy.
We’ll mainly animate the scale and rotation of the square to get that seamless loop, in the end we also animate the positions of the linked shapes.
Finally, we’ll add some gradient ramps and a drop shadow to make the whole looping animation look nice.
