    How can this great tutorial only have 5 likes, Like for real, this was really helpful to me! I am a beginning animator and this helped me out in a way I definitely didn't expect when I clicked on the video. I appreciate the tutorials you make and want to thank you ! :)

    I love this turorial so much!! I’m an avid AE user but I don’t really use expressions. I am going to start forcing myself to. I am a programmer as well so I will have a lot of fun with this!
    Thank you! 😊

    Thanks so much for this! You are seriously a great teacher.
    Is there a way to use expressions/controls to cycle through different images? I need to create an animation of an egg beater with eight different images of the egg beater (the eight images are of the beater in eight different positions of rotation). Thank you!

    • @schoolofmotion
      @schoolofmotion  Před 5 lety

      Yeah you can totally do that with an array connected to if/then statements for opacity.

    Honestly this is a wonderful tutorial but it still scares the life out of me. But with preservence I will be more comfortable with this soon. I will continue watching more examples of expressions until I feel comfortable using it on my own.Thank you for the amazing tutorial!

    • @schoolofmotion
      @schoolofmotion  Před 6 lety +1

      They may seem scary but once you get down the basics you'll use them all the dang time. Keep at it and best of luck!

    Very useful thank you, far better than Adobe’s own. Could you maybe put the expressions on the screen in a bigger size next time? Would be an extra bit of help. Thank you.

    Wow I have some wheels looping from another tutorial that suggested using loopOut(type = "cycle", numKeyframes = 0); but I could not figure out how to slow it down. I will now reprogram my wheels to use what you've demonstrated here. So thanks, I can see the light now !

    I made a clock with key frames a month ago, wish I saw this back then! The controller really seems to simplify things. If I wanted the hands to start at 1oclock, spin a few times and land at 5oclock, I'm guessing I could just key frame the controller?

    • @schoolofmotion
      @schoolofmotion  Před 6 lety +1

      Exactly! And you could also add a little ease in the graph editor to make the whole thing smoother.

  • @aloka1997
    @aloka1997 Před 6 lety +2

    how is the shortcuts and any thing you click on the keyboard is written ,, i don't think it is in montage , is it a software or what screen recorder do you use

    • @schoolofmotion
      @schoolofmotion  Před 6 lety +2

      Yes, it is an external software called screenflow.

    Hi there, how you calculate/make the clock accurate on time?

    • @schoolofmotion
      @schoolofmotion  Před 7 lety

      add the following expression to the end of each hand + (the time you want*120). You may have to adjust the start time as needed for your project depending on the location of the playhead.

  • @maxmagnus777
    @maxmagnus777 Před 3 lety

    Hi I am not getting the list of expressions any more. It is not finishing typing my procedures or variable names.
    Example:
    I write "wigg" and it should offer to finish the name of my procedure with "LE" -> "wiggLE".
    or I write "to" and it is not offering me list of procedures from which I can choose "toComp()" for example.
    I must had clicked something somewhere in AE. I hate how it is easy to mess this program up.
