Genre: Video Training
In this After Effects tutorial we will demystify expressions and make them easy. This course is for the After Effects artist that thinks expressions are scary math wizardry that is too complicated to understand. In reality you do many expression-like things every time you use After Effects, and if you can use the pick whip to parent two layers together you can create expressions with the best of them. The goal of this course is to get you comfortable with creating and reading expressions.
