Welcome to the forum SmullDesginer.

 

If you're talking about the trailer here: https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/designer/and the movement seen around timecode 0:27 then you need to use Symbols. You can find out how to use them here: https://vimeo.com/channels/affinitydesigner/182383520

They are really easy to set-up but to achieve the sort of thing on the video you need to do a bit of planning/tinkering to get it right. The trick to getting the same sort of movement you see in the trailer is to move the rotation point of the object within the symbol.

I've attached a simple document with two different symbols. To see the movement, select any symbol and then expand it and select the ellipse or curve inside the symbol. Then move or rotate the ellipse or curve (not the symbol). The ellipses rotate around the centre of the yellow ellipse while the squiggles move around a point that is slightly offset.

Try moving the rotation point of any ellipse or curve - not the symbol - and see what happens.
