3:51 Ultimate Number Counter
5:26 Fade Layer Based on in/out
6:22 Checkbox Control
which expression blew your mind? 👇
All of them. Need to put my mind back together again. Do you have an expression for that? :)
The checkbox expression seems dope. Noob question, can you use the checkbox expression for other parameters?
@@_hunu yes you can use it on pretty much anything! But if your property has more than one value (for example scale) then you will have to re-write it
@@motionbynick Appreciated, thank you :)
All of them. Loved the expression with the color slider!
The 4th 255 is the alpha value, so as you want it opaque you set it to 255. Javascript only takes rgb as a value between 0 and 1 so that's why everything gets divided by 255 at the end. This method is user friendly cos you can put the actual rgb numbers in and let the math take care of it
at 5:26 there's a built in AE present called Fade in/out frames, which applies the same thing you show here but as a preset with sliders to choose the duration of the fade in and fade out
Top stuff as always Nick!
Awesome! that Ultimate Number Counter was just what I needed at the moment! Thank you, Nick!
Sick nastyyyy thank u for these expressions and the knowledge!!
You, re a hero!!! ty so much , love all the expresions
these ones are greattt, very useful nick! thanks a lot :D
Thanks Nick. Very helpful😊
And thanks for the freebies !
Heavily under rated channel. Thanks for the amazing tips.
This video was very helpful for me! Thank you 🙂
This is one of your best 🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥
The counter I always needed. Praise the algorithm. Thank you!
Great man.. Thanks
Thanks for the Inspiration!
Didnt knew "Loop Paths"! Very useful!
My favorites and most used Expressions:
Inertial Bounce (almost boring....!), Loopable Wiggle Expression, valueAtTime, sourceRectAtTime
Great one
Ta luv. That counter is a delight.
Thanks man..
hi Nick, I've been watching your videos lately and they are all greatly helpful...thank you so much....and I'm just curious how did you do that matrix effect at the intro part, is just an overlay?
Checkbox control has an even easier function - just write the following expression under opacity and it will do the same as you've shown:
[0,100][effect("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox")]
nice!! Will have to try this out next time
You are amazing, just that.
Definitely looping a seamless animation is one of the more challenging things, making you go into manual keyframing + brooming stuff under the carpet using opacity dissolve etc. And it's the hardest for expression/plugin generated animations where everything is random and it's hard to match the first & last frame to make it loopable.
Any good tut links you guys have about it - would be sweet to see!
Hey, Nick! Amazing tutorial. I have one question though: on the random specific colors one, is it a shape layer? Where exactly do you add the expression? On "fill"?
Hey Nick, I always enjoy your videos and this one is really cool too. I was wondering if I could ask about your design aesthetic. You have such a recognizable style (sort of retro 80s look) and I was just wondering how you went about developing it (or any aesthetic for that matter). I mean, even though it's so familiar, I wouldn't know how to begin to emulate it. Maybe you can do a video on this topic? Anyway, thanks again for your great work as always.
Thanks so much!! A lot of experimentation and building different techniques. Will have to dive deeper into this in an upcoming video :)

Hey Nick, love your work. fantastic tuts and generous freebies! I was wondering if you could help me, was having issues with CodeBuddy, recently in the latest version of AE I keep getting this error everytime I try and open it up 'unable to execute script at line 1. Unterminated string constant'. If there is no fix for this, could you possibly tell me where CodeBuddy stores all of the expression I've saved there? Thanks in advance hero!
Hey! Awesome counter expression! Usually need that kind of expressions and having multiple options is gold. Thinking of maybe there is some cool extention for that🤔

Also is anyone here know something about Data-driven animations in After Effects? That pick my interest but I'm looking for someone to guide me through it 🙏
nick, any idea about transforming effect with layers, cz effects gets fkd up if i scale the comp
🙌🏻⚡️❤️💥⚡️🙌🏻💯
true story: i started to watch this video (it was in my 'watch later'), but stopped 'cos of my kid in a couple mins from start. So... after 2 hrs i started my project in AE and faced a need of choosing random color from specific palette. So, i started to look info via forums, and found some random link on youtube. THAT WAS SAME VIDEO I STARTED WATCH FROM WATCH LATER PLAYLIST!!! Is this some kind of magic or matrix???
BTW TY for video - so useful!
You might be a god for that ultimate counter. Well maybe not a god. Minor deity?
i'll take it 😇
The checkbox control could be even easier by just pickwhipping it and then writing *100, or *-100 to do the opposite.
Edit: Sorry, *-100 doesn't do anything. You either *100 if you want the checkbox On to opacity 100 this layer, otherwise if you want Checkbox Off to opacity 100, use an if statement like Nick did.
or 100*(1-link) for opposite
