I then made a note/post to ask the Original Poster, an Adobe Employee to double-check the info and to have it corrected ASAP as the the info provided was really, really bad in that it was counter-productive to AE as well as providing the wrong info on how AE's cache mechanism works. I only read the post after it was online/Stickied for quite a long while.
It's good if it's filled with great info and bad if it's got poor or deficient information.Ī couple of months back there was another Sticky Thread with absolutely the worse info possible on purging cache in AE. This post is a sticky - so, it's not an ordinary thread. I am surprised and dissapointed that you neglected the 200+ cumulative years of experience+knowledge of the volunteers here. So, the next time you come up with something like this - coming up with an Important Topic for Sharing have some Common Sense and Decenvy to ask for input from the collective experience and expertise of the volunteers here, for input. Neither you nor I and anyONE else here is as good as the collective volunteers. I do not want to belong to a group where one or more frivolous, self-centric individual keeps providing falsely/imgined leadership. I could go on but my intent is only to ask that you seek the expertise and experience of the volunteers before you exbarrass yourself and the rest of us. That you left out Dan Ebberts is actually quite laughable. That you do not know that Michael Natkin left Adobe a long while ago and that he was known for bringing Expressions into AE is a clear case that you are way over your head and yet you somehow imagined you know more than all the experts that have volunteered their time here.
You're a nice guy but let's not pretend there are others working with you that can offer invaluable support. YOU have a lot of expertise at your disposal but yet you choose to pretend you know it all. And one of the reasons for their relvance not to take away their absolute brilliance, is because we have people sharing poorly deducted and executed tutorials for AE users. These will be links that the first and second generation AE users found helpful, then, and are still very much relevant today. I'll post other Expression links that are useful. IT's still a good tutorial but I wouldn't share it at an official Adobe site without correct qualifications since there are other tutorials that cover the same topics correctly and if you cannot find something replaceable, then it's best to leave it out, for the moment at least. This is incorrect since MoGRTs the EGP has a built in feature for clamping property values. The second 'error' is with the Expression Method, clamp - he incorrectly stated that a user requires the clamp method for creating templates. The second School of Motion tutorial has TWO huge mistakes! Firstly, the loopOut offset Expession method is incorrectly explained - He has actually explained the loopOut continue Expression, perfectly! LOLOL. Is there a reason you put said tutorial up first? There are other much better Expression tutorials that are shorter and cover better ground - like the other tutorials you posted. erms and it's such a simple task! It's almost a joke. Those two School of Motion videos should be removed!!! The one on the hour clock is very poor and a waste of time - too many err. Here is a beautiful example from School of Motion's Joey Korenman to showcase how expressions can be used to animate the hour and minute hands of a clock in a few simple steps. Expressions can save a lot of time by not having you to manually key-frame every animation. For example, you can use the pick whip to link path properties, so a mask can take its path from a brush stroke or a shape layer object. With expressions, you can create relationships between layer properties and use the keyframes of one property to dynamically animate other layers. Expressions are mainly used by After Effects power-users and new-comers are really intimidated by using them.Īn expression is a little piece of software-much like a script-that evaluates to a single value for a single layer property at a specific point in time.
Expressions take the functionality of After Effects to a whole new level. This post is dedicated to users who want to use expressions but don't know where to start. If you would like to work with me 1:1, send me a private message. If you want to contribute, please share your videos in the comments below. My idea is to curate content and put it here and I intend to improve the content on this page. All the content that I have included in this post helped me to understand expressions in a fun way. Being an author of this post doesn't mean that I am an expressions guru or think that I know everything. It's meant to help users understand the power of expressions in After Effects.
