HACK To Create A Repeater Effect For Compositions In After Effects 

This is totally awesome. I spent forever trying to find someone who had figured this out. It's a use case that should definitely be solved with expressions versus duplicating and manual animating ... Great workflow...very impressed.

THIS IS GOLD! Thank you for explaining it so well, I had watch another tutorial using slider I got the gist of it after a few hours of rewatching to figure out what does it really do. This is so easy to understand

Simply brilliant. I've been looking for this for years...... Thank you.

Thank you so much for creating tutorials like this, I see this effect in MV's all the time - there's a few days till my deadline so thanks for the clutch!

Great stuff! Thank you for the knowledge!

AAAAKKKKKKKK I WILL USE THIS trick for any composition repeater. Thank you, you are a alife saver!

Thanks for the Tutorial, it's really a great effect.

Great tutorial, Thank you!

I have watched this video 5x and still find it challening. Will keep watching. Thank you so much!!! Question: If one isn't using a png or a 3d image, would it be best to use a repeater instead? Just trying to get an understanding of when its best to use this method...

suuuuuper helpful thank you!! always forgetting how powerful the index function is

Just the kind of stuff I need! Thanks :)

BOSS YOU ARE THE KING!!!

Nice! Any tips on randomising placement and scale, for a less orderly, more chaotic composition, eg snowflakes? Thanks, great tutorial.

That’s a really cool effect, probably going to be a lifesaver

Interresting,thank you for sharing.

love it u saved my life

Thank you, really good

Amazing ✨

thank you so much !

Thank you for the tutorial. I think these basic things should be easier in AE. So complicated and many steps to create such a simple animation.

groovy tutorial. love this effect

Hi Jordy. Awesome tutorial. But I can't figure out how you do the linear repetition. I tried using Position as you said, and I can't it to work. Can you make a tutorial for doing it that way? Thanks very much in advance.

Awesome.

was a life-saver. Thanks a lot.

Crop Comp to Region of Interest was worth the like button all on its own. Great shortcut!

Thank you very much! helped me a lot

Who Knew? Now we will. Love this!

I kinda wished there was a way to repeat comps without actually duplicating them. But this is amazing as it is. I can use this technique. Thanks, Jordan.

this was exactly what I needed to do !!!!! thanks Much!

This is so cool!

nice tutorial thanks

thank u so muchㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ you helped me alot!!!!!!!!!!

Lifesaver

Really great tutorial.

My respects!

4:54 you don't have to memorize angles. It's just 360 divided by [the number of objects] You can literally just type 360/3 into After effects for three objects and it will figure out 120 for you.

This is amazing! Great way to start my day. Thank you!

Hey! What do you use to record your screen? I want to make a quick tutorial but I can’t find any good programs 😂

Super cool

Hi, m using this MA for my videos, unfortunately, I can't found the videos m looking for. like some emotion I need to show in my videos but that type of thing is not recorded in MA. can you help me with this.

I ran into a huge problem during this. The effect I was going for was a straight line of repeated images. But whenever I attach the composition to the Slider control it only moves diagonally...

To get even rotation for any amount of clones just take 360/number of clones.

Thank you for this! Amazingly helpful, but I was wondering how to space apart the images? If I want 30 images in a circle but to control the space inbetween is there a way to do that?

Really hoping for a reply from anyone here. Great video! But my object rotates so many times until the duplicates are fan out. How to i fix this?

This is amazing thank you! Do you have any tips on how to use this technique to repeat objects on a spiral path, as opposed to a circle?

can i do this with Vectors or png instead of videos? and maybe the repeater tool? (i've been able to do it only with shapes made directly in after effects

Hi. I'm using AE 2023. The expression is not working correctly for Position (it adds a "temp" condition and only moves diagonally, not left-right or up-down). What is the expression fix for this so that it moves the direction I need: left-right? UPDATE: I changed the 2nd "temp" [temp, temp] to "0" [temp, 0] and that seems to have did the trick

Afther you adjust the amount and the position... lets use for example the position in 5:26 with 6 mugs, how can you now rotate all in group like a fortune wheel?

cool

anyone know how did he do the background like in the video

bro plz upload this project file because we can practice same project but it is not tutorials you folding map tutorials you say this projectile link in bellow but it is not commented bellow can you this for next tutorials in future ?

good guy

This was wonderful. Now I'm trying to get a whole bunch of Angry Piggy heads to bounce out of an explosion in different directions and speeds, but using a single layer of the Angry Piggy PNG. Is this doable following this tutorial? (I skip a lot cos... impatient... so that may already be answered while I was thinking of something viral to comment here). That said FABBLE! And THANK YOU!

Super

Going with the position parameter: why does *index lock my anchor point to the top right of my composition? The slider only duplicates from the top left.

Adding a mask around the edges to give some space between the elements doesn't seem to work.. any pointers? 🤔🤔

brabo

A final template to work with ?? :D

It doesn't work with position properly following what you said. Something is off.

the point is to not make more duplicates of the precomp

Still seems weird that AE doesn't have an equivalent of Motion's Replicator - essentially a Repeater on steroids, which works on any layer or object in a project.

shitttttttttt this is porn thanks a lots. amazing work

*SUP*

so complicated

The adding of the second slider is unnecessary and bad. You should just multiply the first one by (index - 2) instead of index

waaaaaaay to lenghty and simplified. make a 4min version for normal designers, most of us already know what anchor point is

Way too much math and script code!
