This course will teach you to understand and to write your own expressions. You’ll get so much more than just theory. It will be a real practice with unique and complex illustrations. You’ll finally get rid of tons of useless keyframes and get your work automized. We’ll show you how to work with many functions and teach you so many cool and unique techniques that will save your precious time.

Here’s what you’ll learn

LESSON #1: Expressions Basics

Parenting, Wiggle, time, value, noise. You’ll learn the expression basics here. You’ll get to know how they work and what they are. We’ll talk about parentings, arrays, time, value, noise, loop wiggle and will make it easy and accessible to learn about them in your very first lesson.

LESSON #2: Sliders, Random, Posterize Time

Learn how to make your own sliders and polish your skills completing everyday tasks. We’ll scatter stars all over the night sky in just two clicks and we’ll learn how to control them at the same time.

LESSON #3: Loops, Index, Value At Time

You will learn loop variations and get to practice with them. We’ll go deeper into expressions. You’ll learn how to parent layers and create generative clouds.

LESSON #4: If/else

In this lesson, we’ll see how if/else work and we’ll use them to add some variativity to our elements. You’ll learn more about Math functions and add more flexibility while using fewer keyframes.

LESSON #5: Linear, Shape Builder, Whale

Learn how to use the most powerful expressions that can free you from the keyframe slavery. Create a dynamic graphic constructor. We’ll create a loop while using no keyframes at all!

LESSON #6: Expression Controls. Color Schemes. Pseudo Effects.

Learn how to easily change color schemes in your projects and create your own pseudo effects. Save a lot of time on your projects using them

LESSON #7: Parallax, Advanced Bend

We will begin working with advanced techniques. We’ll start with a flexible parallax and will breathe life In our city.

LESSON #8: Working with Path

Path animation, Crab dance. Learn how to work with path and how to use it.

LESSON #9: Fire Generator

We’ll create a flexible stylized fire generator.

LESSON #10: Walking Godzilla, City Constructor

Learn how to animate Godzilla and make it walk just by moving its position. Create a destroyed city using one slider.

LESSON #11: Extend Script Part One

The basis that will help you understand what the scripts are, how they differ from the expressions and which advantages they provide. You will create a simple script that will help you in the animation.

LESSON #12: Extend Script Part Two

In this lesson, you will make a script that will automatically add Bend It to all selected layers and add a controller with which you can smoothly change parameters of all effects simultaneously.
