Expression Shorts Series - ProVideoCoalition

[vfxman222]

I just wanted to spread the word about an After Effects Expression Series over at ProVideoCoalition that I've created. It's based around short snippets of useful expressions I've used over the years in real world projects. The series is video based in addition to a written article for more detailed code breakdown and explanation. Here are links to the tutorials released so far...

Expression Shorts - Trigger Event Based On Layer’s Speed (Use a layer's speed to trigger an event/animation on another layer)


Expression Shorts - Wiggle Only One Direction (wiggle only the X, or the Y, or the Z direction individually)


Expression Shorts - Numerical Readout (use a text layer to display actual layer numerical position data, HUD style)


Expression Shorts - Random Words Cycle (have a single text layer randomly display a word on each frame)


Expression Shorts - Auto Fade Layer (automatically fade in and out a layer without keyframes. Auto adjusts when layer is trimmed)


Expression Shorts - Read External Text Document (have a text layer display text based on an external txt file. Useful on lower thirds)

Added another two part segment this week.

Expression Shorts - Swinging Motion - Math.sin() part 1 & 2 (create pendulum motion, swinging motion with decay and circular motion)

This weeks post...

Expression Shorts - Auto Layer Offset 2D part 1 (use a master controller to dynamically offset layer position and rotation in 2D)


Expression Shorts - Auto Layer Offset 3D part 2 (use a master controller to dynamically offset layer position and rotation in 3D)

Expression Shorts - Auto Center A Layer Between Two Moving Layers (this expression will automatically figure out the math to center your 2D or 3D layer between two moving layers)

Expression Shorts - sampleImage() part 1 & 2 (Use color channel values to drive a lens flare's intensity)
