Simplify expression management and focus on your animation again.

Expressions in After Effects are wonderful, yet they aren't without their issues. By building an expression library you can eliminate the headache and spend your time improving the animation, not the code. This class will show you how to make a reusable library, give you practical examples, and build a solid base for you to continue with expressions.

Expression libraries offer these advantages:

• Easily share expressions between layers and projects
• Create building blocks for responsive template layout
• Write code with the comforts of a text editor
• One central place to tweak animation behaviour

In this class you'll learn how to:

• Create an expression library
• Reuse code and values
• Access your composition from an expression
• Write some practical functions for dynamic layout

For those that want a deeper technical dive, I include a chapter going into details about the code. You'll better understand what is going on, giving you more flexibility in your expressions.

This class is meant for:

• Animators working with After Effects
• Designers of responsive lower thirds
• Creators of Premier Pro and Adobe stock templates
• Anybody going crazy with those fidgety tiny expression boxes

If you're new to expressions, you may also find my introduction to expressions class helpful.
