This lesson covers the Wiggle, Time and LoopOut expressions I covered in class, as well as a few additional expressions (including a way to control expressions with keyframes).

Here’s the exact way you need to type the expressions used in the above video:

• wiggle(6,30)
• time*360
• loopOut()

Change the numbers in the above examples to suit your need.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to use the 3D camera tracker in After Effects, in order to realistically “glue” new elements (like text or images) to existing video footage.

You can download video clips to practice on here.

Learn how to pre-compose (or precomp) to speed up your After Effects workflow.

An introduction to particles in After Effects, using the Particle Systems II effect to cover concepts and workflow.

How to make a room, or a hallway, using solid layers, images, and 3D lights.

A comprehensive tutorial introducing the use of 3D lights, and explaining the difference between the various types of lights available in After Effects.

How to create (and animate) 3D layers and cameras.

A brief, but very important, tutorial. Watch this to understand how to get your work out of After Effects, so the world can be envious of your talents…(or just so I can grade your projects).

BTW, if you hear any weird noises in the background, it’s just my dog chewing on my foot while I was recording this.
