Hi everyone. Can someone help me? Beginner here. I'm having trouble adding equal space on my dots rotating in circle path. I have a total of 16 dots

I have a code each dots "thisComp.layer("Dot1").transform.position.valueAtTime(time-((index-3)/5));" 
Dot1 is the leader that has the positions and the other dots follow along with it

Thank you in advance!

Hi @Airweb_AE thanks a lot! this really helps me!!! You're my savior!!!  My only problem is how can I change the start of the position of the dot? 

Thank you so much!!!

To start the animation on the curve, it's the same thing.

The position expression on the red ball determines the speed.

You just need to apply this expression by taking the path of the curve instead of the oval and remove the part that loops the animation (% Math.floor(dur / laps)).

Then observe the time it takes for the red ball to travel along the curve, in my case, it takes 5 seconds, so I can start the animation on the oval from 5 seconds (150 frames).

you can probably try using a text layer, just adding bullet points and making the font size bigger. Then add a mask to your text layer and tweak its position with offset.

Here's a link to a video by Riccardo Agostinelli where he explains a similar process.

Let me know if that works, otherwise, we can try something else.
