  • @BryanSchultzitis
    @BryanSchultzitis 11 днів тому

    Thank you for these! I know/use some of them, but a few were new to me! Re: basic math in variable properties: - You can actually make Ae do more math if you feel like doing less. As an example, if I'm making something that needs to be 1/16th taller than my 1080p comp, I can enter '1080 + (1080 / 16)' and it'll do that. - If you're going to write an expression that uses math based on another property, rather than dividing I recommend multiplying by a decimal. That way, if the referenced property ever goes to 0, you don't break your expression. As an example, if you want a layer to rotate 1/2 as much as its parent, use 'thisLayer.parent.transform.rotation * 0.5;' so that if the reference layer isn't rotated, it sets the value to 0, rather than disabling the expression :)

  • @Dan1066
    @Dan1066 16 днів тому

    I've been in AE more and more recently but realistically for me, I don' think I knew a single one. I make a lot of simple mograph and need to replace a logo or other elements and use the alt drag the new element, but now that I know about the new method that'll be a game changer. I'd like to also experiment with the 'keep it procedural' especially on selecting colors over layers (if possible). Keeping everyone's fill or stroke the same with one click would be a super help.

    • @motionbyscott
      @motionbyscott 16 днів тому

      Great to hear! In relation to your fill colours, you could link with effects, a colour control expression or essential graphics - which is something I could definitely do a video on!

  • @antaras

    Cool tips all around! I recently discovered that you can right click on a comp tab in the timeline and there's options to close all other timelines or tabs there. Also, you when you select a layer in your composition and want to replace with something else in your project you don't have to ALT+DRAG precisely on that layer. As long as you have selected the layer you want to replace you can simply alt+drag in your comp or timeline and after effects will replace it.

    If you dont know where is your .aep file from a project, you can import the exported file to a new project, then press control+e with the file selected.The command is called edit original and it opens the .aep that the video was made of.This could be a lifesaver if you are working with a lot of people sharing files and projects or if you need to work on a really old project.
