Hey @djokhar05! Great to see you back here, hope you're doing awesome. 😄

To start the carousel from a specific index, you can use the defaultIndex prop in the Carousel component. In your case, if you want to start from index 2, you can do it like this:

<Carousel
  defaultIndex={2}
  // other props
/>

For moving the carousel's index to the next item using a button click, you can use the next function from the carouselController. Here's how you can do it:

import { Carousel } from 'react-native-reanimated-carousel';

// Assuming you have a carouselController from useCarouselController
const { next } = carouselController;

// Your Carousel component
<Carousel
  defaultIndex={2}
  carouselController={carouselController}
  // other props
/>

// Your button
<Button title="Next" onPress={next} />

Please note that the next function will only move the carousel to the next item if there is a next item. If the carousel is at the last item, calling next will not do anything. If you want to loop back to the first item after the last item, you can set the loop prop to true in the Carousel component.

<Carousel
  defaultIndex={2}
  carouselController={carouselController}
  loop={true}
  // other props
/>

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
