[Update 01-16-17] Bug Fixed: Fixed an issue with non English After Effects versions.
Think about all the times in which you had to show a list of items, services, brands and so to create a carousel for your customers or for yourself. Yes, the carousel is one of the most requested animations and ,quite frankly, building it is a very annoying, and time consuming task, especially if you have many items to place.
What would you think about a tool that can automatically create and animate a carousel?
Well, Carousel Creator is the solution! This script, which is compatible with After Effects for Windows and Mac, immediately creates your carousel. No matter how many items you have to place: you just need to import them in a composition and press a button, the script will do the rest.
Of course you can customize many aspects of the carousel, for example you can:
- Change the distance between items
- Bring an item to the front with the magnification option
- Add or remove items in the carousel
- Choose whether to create a circular or a linear carousel
- Change the alignment from horizontal to vertical
- Select a different style of items visualization (rotate, front, flip, card revealer)
- Rotate the carousel manually or automatically
- Set the rotation time and the stop time
- Activate the infinite rotation of the carousel
- Change the interpolation for the auto animation (from linear to smooth)
Feel free to place any kind of content you like into your carousel: text, images, video footage.
Other features:
- you can add infinite items
- smart comp length adjustment (the length of the comp automatically adjusts according to the rotation and stop times set for each item)
- it works with any comp resolution
Note: The script doesn’t create floor reflections (as shown in the video preview examples) but you can achive them with the free plugin: VC reflect. (all instructions in the videotutorial)
