download iExpressions at In this tutorial I show you a simple character rig using the inverse kindematics expressions of iExpressions. We animate a robot and instead of animating the rotation of the individual segments of each arms and legs, with the rig you just need to place a null layer where...

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...

download iExpressions at In this tutorial you learn how to connect a layer to a path such that it can travel along the path or stay connected to a specific point on the path even if the path is animated. The expression we use can also set the rotation of the layer such that it follows the direction...

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 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...

In this tutorial we use the wiggle expression, the elastic path expression and the trail expression to create an organic cartoon text animation in no time.

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...

In this tutorial we use the Snap2Grid iExpression to create a motion path along a grid and then use the Trail iExpression to create some shape layer based motion trail paths.

download iExpressions at Today I show you a very cool effect that you can apply to any text. It will start with a straight line for each path of your text and then fold these lines step by step into the final text. The result is a very detailed and complex animation, but the process is so simple...

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.

We animate some solids with the Snapping Wiggle iExpression to move the layers from grid cell to grid cell randomly. Thanks to the iExpression, this creates a complex, distrinct animation in no time.

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...

download iExpressions at Get started with using iExpressions 3 for Adobe After Effects. In this tutorial you learn how to use the more than 100 expressions included in iExpressions and also how to import your own expressions in the library. We coved a lot of different examples and explain topics...

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 Today we combine two very powerful iExpressions: We use the ‚Throw 2D‘ to bounce a layer off the ground and against some walls and the ‚Elastic Shape‘ to deform it accordingly. Since everything is based on expressions, you can simply set a different...

download iExpressions at After Effects comes with a built-in shape layer repeater but what I show you here is something very different. In contrast to the built-in shape repeater, since iExpression creates a new shape by concatenating many copies of the original shape to a single new shape. You can...

download iExpressions at Learn how to easily align layers in After Effects in a column. The best thing about this easy and powerful technique: If you change the content or size of any of the layers, the layout updates instantly. This is possible with the help of some clever expression, but...

download iExpressions at In this tutorial you learn how to create symmetric shapes with a super useful expression. The Mirror iExpression can mirror any shape for you and you can even get an instant preview of the mirrored shape while you are modifying it. Creating symmetric shapes in After Effects...
