Create and Animate grids in after effects. No plugins required. We do it all with shape layers and repeaters. You may be surprised how much we can animate using the repeater. I'll make some arrays, some grid lines, and show you how to animate them on, off and all around. These techniques make very nice backgrounds and pattern elements to fill out a scene and open up a new area of creativity.
If you have any questions just let me know in the comments.

The second one. Doing things and having lived experience produces more novel ideas. We don't come up with new things in a vacuum. This is because new uses of a tool are typically the response to problems that have not been seen before.

Okay, so, if I want to make a preset with a transform as PART of that preset, how do I get the position of that transform to automatically be connected to the position of whatever layer I drop it on? That make sense? Guessing I will need an expression. To clarify, the transform preset has it's own position and when you drop it on a layer it has it's own position. I want them to automatically be connected.

You could then just copy that null and pick whip it to whatever you want after that if you want to keep it the exact same. I might be misunderstanding the question though sorry!

QUESTION: How do you fix problems with the anchor point position for those grids? I keep having the problem, that my lines are not rotating around the center of the line but slightly next to it. I already tried all the ways I know about. Aligning anchor point to center, manually putting anchor point of the main layer as well as transform anchors to the center, creating the line perfectly centered with snap to grid enabled. Still, I cannot once get it done properly. Can someone PLS help? Thanks!

@ECAbrams

It's likely where they are in relation to the anchor point or layer centre. Shape layers need to be very precise. A shape can seem to be in the middle, but it's actually in a group that's been moved to look like it's in the middle, but it's reference point is somewhere else entirely.

Hey Evan, I'm having a real problem with the line grid. No matter what I do, my grids are always offset in the middle and don't line up correctly. I tried downloading your file and copying the repeaters from your elements, yet the problem persists. I know this means it's an issue with the line (shape) I've created, but it's a two-point straight line with no variation to yours, yet the grid never lines up correctly. Do you happen to know anything that could be causing this?
@ECAbrams
@ECAbrams 4 года назад
Are you drawing your line using the grid? It's important that the line lives at the middle centre relative to the groups inside the contents. Perhaps that's what's going on.

I was having trouble with the graph paper example, the second repeater was offset no matter what I did with the anchor points, etc. I downloaded Evan's files, which of course were perfect but used his suggestion in the comments to hit UU on the layers to compare what transformations had happened. Then I saw that I had missed a point he made at 4:17, where we hear him say to transform the second repeater not by position, but while he says that, he changes the position value from 100, 0 to 0, 0. I didn't see him change it, and that's what was throwing everything off. After I did that on the second repeater, all was well. I hope this helps someone else, I saw quite a few comments that sounded like folks were having this same issue.

If you have issues with the anchor point not working correctly: the repeater references the centre of the shape's coordinate system, AE doesn't give access to this so you have to copy the value of the anchorPoint of your layer to the anchor point parameter of the repeater, or snap to the grid ..

If you're trying to make a line grid and having issues with it being weirdly out of order with the second repeater. Do this. To make the first/base line, double tap the rectangle shape icon on the top toolbar, then open its rectangle path 1 size adjustment, untoggle the horizontal/vertical scale link. And play with the 2nd value (height) to change the line width. Now do the 2 repeater process. This ensures a perfectly centered line to start with.

Is there a way to do this with images in any way? Basically, I want to repeat an image with varying rotation and scale wiggles. Essentially the Wiggle Transform for shapes, but with my image's repetitions. Instead of, y'know, just duplicating and changing the wiggle seeds haha.
@ECAbrams
@ECAbrams 3 года назад
Usually I suggest a system like Trapcode form. Particle systems can use images as sprites, then you can deform the system itself with high level changes, noise, deformation. But maybe something like the Card Dance effect can get you where you want to be without 3rd party plugins?

@ECAbrams
@ECAbrams 2 года назад
@@rayi1002 When in doubt, select the layer and double tap the 'u' key. This will bring up every property that has been changed from the baseline of the layer. So if a group has been moved away from the centre, or an anchor point is shifted, you'll see it. It might be the actual position of a path isn't exactly in the middle centre. Or that path's group. It can be confusing, but that is why I tend to make all my geometry by double clicking the shape's icon rather than free drawing them. It really cuts down on what can be different or unexpected. I hope that helps.

Hey there, hoping you can help me out: Trying to follow along with the line section of the tutorial. When I rotate the second repeater, the repeated grid isn't aligned properly like it is in yours. It seems to be revolving around the center of the composition, but it's *not* tied to the anchor point from what I can tell. Even if I get the line centered in the middle of the comp, it doesn't line up right. Can you just explain how you got a line dead center in your comp and the second revolver to line up perfectly?
@ECAbrams
@ECAbrams 3 года назад
Shape layers can be confusing like that. Imagine that everything in a group is relative to that group. And that group is relative to the layer. And that layer is relative to the comp. So, when something like this happens, it's likely because things are not aligned in the hierarchy in the same way they appear to be aligned in the viewport. I recommend hitting u u on the keyboard to see all the properties you have changed about the layer and look for anything strange or unexpected. In the example, I was certain to draw the lines in the middle centre of the comp, but also in the middle centre of the shape layer. I'm guessing your path is just not where it appears to be... if that makes sense.
