That trick about parenting the position attribute of transform to the anchor point is a life saver, I was literally like, "wonder how he's going to get over the fact that the transform property just puts an anchor point somewhere" haha, thanks so much for sharing that.
This is why I really love exploring all the stock effects inside AE. So many animators always keep looking for new plugins and forget that AE effects are already there for a reason.
thats so useful! i used to precomp them multiple times to be able to move objects around which needed multiple scale or position movements. game changer!
Hi Jake, I'm a beginner in After Effects, i just recently watched your skillshare course on After Effects for beginners. I see you really know your stuff. But im really amazed at how much detailed stuff you know, like how do you know so much and how some times to manipulate certain effects to get what you want?. How many hours do i need to put in to become good at motion.Any advice from you is appreciated.
I appreciate that! Honestly it's just because I've been using the program for over 15 years now. I got a job straight out of college where I had to use After Effects every day, and watched every tutorial I could. When I left my job to become a freelancer, I realized I only knew how to use After Effects well, but wasn't necessarily a good animator. So I invested in myself and took courses like School of Motion's Animation Bootcamp to improve my skills as an animator. Essentially, keep learning every day
Animating With Ease on Skillshare goes pretty deep. I also have a tutorial on RU-vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7pOCtlrrE3Y.htmlsi=WwtXEbfGqo7OHg2M
Yay! More Jake in my life is always welcomed. Except that time you showed up in my driveway wearing a suit made of pancakes and waffles intricately sewn together. As beautiful as it was, I believe I made myself clear that day re: my feelings on food clothing. Billy and the kids would love to see you - feel free to stop by. But gods help me, if you're wearing food again... let's just say I keep the shotgun loaded and within reach at all times (if I'm wearing my extend-grabber tool). Having said that, YAY to this series! Thank you for taking the time to educate us unwashed masses.
in my designing institute my sir always suggest using speed graph over value, seeing you making overshoot animation by value graph it like why i am not using it, **will you please make video of best scenarios for using value graph and speed graph** btw love your video these video is so helpful thanks....
No, that expression will still only work after the keyframes, and go back and forth between the values. My expression loops the keyframes on either side of them, and allows you to move the keyframes anywhere in time.
@@JakeInMotion I used to work on a 14" M1 16GB at work and now they upgraded it to a Dell 32GB and we work in automation. On their own transform effects work pretty normally but I noticed when pairing it with expressions for position changes depending on T&C on/off, or colour changing expressions paired with custom icon fonts (like promotional stickers moving across the scene) they tend to start not loading the "correct" position instantly but needing a few moments to update. I understand that it is not directly the effects fault, but rather a complex operation of instances trying to work together in order to display moving graphics and changing frames. I would still like to have a way to preview things more quickly in more complex projects in the few scenarios when all layers must be on. That being said, thank you for the video your animation presets gave me an idea about creating an effect pack for the whole team for the most often used effects for fast use outside of the the template.
