hahahha

[@ryanrockers]

awesome stuff, using index is a helpful trick. You could also have wrote it to subtract 1 from the index value before the multiplication. Many ways to do everything, just have to be mindful of where the clips are. All the Adobe programs work with javascript too if people like writing tools to make the jobs easier.

[@reevzam9020]

One of my best animation artist is Ben Marriott

[@Anonymous-cn6zl]

Oh krass, deine Videos sollten berümt gewesen sein

Video của bạn rất thú vị , cảm ơn 🙏🙏🙏

[@anointedserpent2143]

I got into video fx & production very late in life and have just discovered the power of expressions in AFX, is there any book with all the expressions you can buy? Or do you cover all expressions and their uses on your channel, yes I'm new to your channel.

[@SabryElayary]

mail me to send u some expression resources

[@myvideoguy]

Research is IN!
Yes, Sergei and Vlad are really the same human Hahaha
The Sergeivlad has the intelligence and candor of two good humans! Hehe
Cheers legends

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Are those streams also available for those which enroll later then september october?

[@AndrewMarston]

I don't believe so. Maybe the recordings of the first semester livestreams will be available to all who enroll after, but I'm not 100% sure.

[@eladbari]

@10:12 - any way to still parent the Rotation of that diamond to the string +And Delay it's rotation timing by a few frames? So it looks more organic?
Any fitting addition to the expression for that?

[@AndrewMarston]

You could use something like: d = thisComp.frameDuration * 3; . valueAtTime (time - d);

[@daninthebox_]

Also you can use delayChild or Faux Parent, those are very helpful and time saving scripts.

[@eladbari]

@@daninthebox_ Wow! 1. You're a genius! 2. Wtf is this platform both of those scripts are sold on? Never saw it. And it seems some are for free.
Any other useful scripts you know of from there? tnx!

[@iamYork_]

I loveth me some BM... index all day

[@AndrewMarston]

Ben was extremely generous to take the time and make this video.

[@iamYork_]

@@AndrewMarston I am very grateful... He has taught me a lot of great techniques over the years... including the gems he shared here...

[@maticasamyu]

Hi, My name is Sam from Indonesia.
pleaseee...
Can you tell me where can type donw the expression like "time" or "wiggle"... i am quite new in After Effects

[@goodkingdesign]

When I type in 'index' I get an expression error, any ideas why?

[@rohitpisharody7733]

Who is Sergey??

[@AndrewMarston]

He's the main guy on this channel and an After Effects expressions master.

[@vorval96]

Who were they talking about? a 10/10 expressions guy?

[@madboots]

Tibet thumbnail.

[@brianoriang9120]

if you are a 5 then am a 0.1....wow its hard to express yourself 3:49

[@RomboutVersluijs]

or less?! less then 1 line... hmmmm

[@AndrewMarston]

Haha, admittedly this is slightly inaccurate, but I meant when you just pick-whip properties and don't even open the expression editor. Technically though there is a single line expression being written though.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

@@AndrewMarston hahah i see, it needs code atleast 1 line otherwise it wont work :)
