download iExpressions at Linking Colors in After Effects can be done very easily with the pick-whip and expressions. But what if you do not need exactly the same color, but a brighter or darker variant of it? With iExpressions you can create links that take the color of the linked property and then...

download iExpressions at In this tutorial you learn how to link many color properties to a slider such that they can all be changed at once. You just need to specify for each color property which color it should have for the minimum and the maximum value of the slider. When the slider is moved, the...
download iExpressions at In this tutorial you learn how repeat any animation in After Effects easily at each marker. You first keyframe the animation and then you apply an expression that plays back those keyframes at each marker. It can even play back the keyframes faster or slower and a single...
download iExpressions at In this tutorial we create and animate some shapes in After Effects using Shape layers and the iExpressions Repeater expression. In contrast to the repeater feature that is built in to After Effects, this repeater does not distribute lots of copies of a shape in space, but...
download iExpressions at Learn how to turn any expression in After Effects into an iExpressions. This adds an intuitive to use interface to the expression such that you can modify it without touching the code. We also show how to store the expression in your user library such that you can reuse it...
download iExpressions at In this tutorial we add elastic deformation in After Effects to a shape layer such that it deforms automatically when we move it. As an example, we use a plant whose leaves and branches should swing when we move it. The expression analyzes the movement of the layer and...

In this tutorial you learn a cool effect to unfold any shapes into a straight line. The effect is based on an expression on the shape path that does all the work for you, so it is super easy to use and just requires two keyframes.

In this tutorial we use the Pie Slice iExpression to create shape layers with the shape of a pie slice. This is very useful for creating charts and info graphics, for example. You can animate the radius and angles easily by linking the expression parameters to sliders.
download iExpressions at Rigging a Carnivorous Plant is probably not the thing you need to do all the time, but of course you can use the same approach to built any other character rigs. One special thing about the IK expression that we are using is, that it supports ‚arms‘ with 3...
download iExpressions at The blockify iExpression approximates any path by only horizontal and vertical lines. You can change the number of lines used to create a more or less blocky result and also animate this over time. Some noise parameters allow for more variation and give you full control and...
