Hi! New to After Effects. I just wanted 2 rotating in place pentagons one in another. Can get it done. Everytime pentagons shifting from center. Already tried null object and it didn't help.

You will want to put all of the polygons in the shape layer, make sure that their Contents/Polystar#/Position and Contents/Polystar#/Transform Polystar#/Position properties are zeroed out so that they are all concentric, then animate the Contents/Polystar#/Transform Polystar#/Rotation property.

Your post makes no sen se at all and your screenshot doesn't tell us anything. You need to include the actual timeline with the properties revealed so peaople can understand what's going on. With that in mind of course that's where you should look first. Chances are you are simply messing up the various group transforms and anchor points and then of course they'll show uneven rotations. This stuff matters.
