Creating orbits in After Effects

There are many ways of creating an orbit in After Effects, and pretty much every single method is pretty tedious. With the orbit after effects script, it couldn't be simpler: just select the layers you want to put into orbit, choose the size of the orbit and hit go.

Customise your orbit

The script also adds a control null for each orbit created, here you can customise the size of the orbit (how far away from the centre the orbitting satellite is), as well as adjusting the orientation of the orbit too.

Adding expressions such as "time*50" to the orientation of an orbit helps add a little extra variance to the animation for some pretty cool results.
