The linear expression is written: linear(var, varmin, varmax, value1, value2); You choose a variable and denote the minimum and maximum values. Then, you relate that to value 1
The bounce expression is convenient for adding a bouncing motion to layer parameters. The roots of this expression derive from Dan Ebberts. I like to apply this expression to add realistic inertial movement. I use sliders to control the amplitude, frequency and decay variables in the expression. Amplitude is the
Using an expression to make something blink in After Effects is much more efficient than setting a bunch of opacity keyframes, especially if you have to make adjustments. In this short tutorial video, I show you an expression to use to make something blink repeatedly. Although there are many ways
Videos with number animations look slick. Why just display a static number or percentage on screen when you can have an animation scrolling the numbers up to your target number? You can create many numeric animations efficiently with just one layer in your composition by applying the Slider Control effect
