#What is This Course?

"Circular Hover" is a free video tutorial on the Framer Marketplace, created by a skilled designer/animator (community-featured creator). This framer resource engaging, intermediate-level video walks through building a delightful hover interaction: when users hover over a button, an icon (or multiple icons) rotates smoothly in a circular path, creating a playful yet polished micro-animation. Delivered through narrated screen recordings with live canvas construction, zooms on variants panel, transform settings, and hover interaction setup, it covers icon placement, rotation origin centering, variant-based animation, spring easing tuning, and combining with other hover effects. Video length is likely 8–15 minutes (typical for Marketplace micro-interaction tutorials), with pause-friendly pacing for following along. No duplicatable project is explicitly noted in listings, but the tutorial is designed for direct replication in your Framer canvas. It's especially valuable for designer-developers who want interactive CTAs or icons to feel alive—adding modern, delightful feedback that makes sites more memorable and engaging.

#What You’ll Learn ⚡

• Positioning icons precisely inside a button with centered rotation origin

• Creating hover variants that trigger smooth 360° rotation using transform rotate

• Applying spring-based easing and timing for natural, bouncy circular motion

• Combining rotation with other hover effects (scale lift, shadow glow, color shift)

• Setting up the reusable interaction on any button or icon component
