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)

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)
