Procedural Animations in After Effects | Tutorial

► Learn how to animate with expressions in After Effects! Check out my new course: bit.ly/expressions-in-ae
► Get your free expressions sheet: bit.ly/expressions-cheat-sheet
In this After Effects tutorial, I’ll show you how to create procedural animations.
Procedural animations are generated with expressions to mostly create continuous random animations. Imagine you’ve set hundreds of keyframes to animate random objects. To adjust the animation, you need to touch all keyframes.
The fast and efficient way is: You use expressions that define the animation pattern.
And you use expression controls to quickly change the expressions’ values.

A tip for 05:15 : You can right click the property, choose "Copy Expression Only", then just select all the layers you want to copy to and paste. This will automatically insert the expression to the correct property on each layer.

That’s great! Thanks very much for the tip!

hey bro!
have u seen Luma AI website. I am just curious that ,can we make an effect which is applied on the main title "LUMA" on the website inside of after effects. If Yes , then plsss tell me how?

[@ManueldoesMotion]

Yeah that's possible in After Effects. The inside is smoke footage. They used the letters as luma track matte for the smoke video. Than added some lights to the strokes of the letters.

Hi! What's the benefit using this instead of mogrt? And what is the advantage of mogrts over this approach? Thank you Manuel!

[@ManueldoesMotion]

Hi! Mogrt is a file format and a procedural animation is an animation method. You can create a procedural animation and export it as a mogrt file.
