Expressions Magic

Unlock the Power of Automation and Creativity in Adobe After Effects with Expressions

What you'll learn

Master expressions of After Effects and how to use them properly

Learn how to make motion graphics two times faster than before

Understand each type of looping animations and their efficiency

Manage to use less keyframes and say goodbye to copying too much of them

Do rigging easily with expressions and without using any plug-in or script

Create fully automatic animations with simple codes

Use some Mathematic operations to make your movements clean and accurately

You will fix some issues in After Effects, you couldn’t do with just keyframes

Use conditionals to have more than one result in your animations at once

Save expressions with simple methods and use them again in other projects to save plenty of time

Make as many controllers as you want with expressions for your project customization

Requirements

Students should have Adobe After Effects installed on their computers to follow along. There are good exercises at the end of each lesson with downloadable assets. We want you to follow along.

We teach this course using the Adobe After Effects CC (creative cloud) 2023 version, so it would be best if you're using CC. But you can still learn using CS6, CS5, CS4, or even CS3!

You don’t need any knowledge about coding and everything you need about expressions is in the course with simple explanations
