Huge time saver, you're doing work for the greater good of the mograph space. Much appreciated!
Expression gives an error in AE 2024. Is there a fix for this?
Hey, make sure your Expression Engine is set to Javascript. And you can copy and use the expression (tested and works in AE 2024) here: docs.nosleepcreative.com/after-effects/cookbook/algebraic#archimedes-spiral
When will you upload your detailed much in depth tutorial for motion design which are much more advanced techniques?
Oh what sort of advanced techniques are you looking for? And is there a reason why you want to learn these techniques?
@@NoSleepCreative I am talking about after effects technique just like breaking down ordinary folks technique or new stuff , and I want to learn these because I want to be more advance in after effects
When I connect the slider control, it doesn't work, why? it brings the ball up and hangs?
Thanks🎉🎉🎉
The "Circle" effect can be used as a circle wipe. The effect lets you set it to stencil alpha. You can also make it a "donut" shape. This is super cool though! Definitely useful. Thanks for sharing!
Nice! I totally forgot about that effect! I've been too focused searching for effects with "Wipe" in their names lol! Thanks for sharing!!
OMG, this is super helpful!!! came in the perfect time, i've been looking for a mask tool for such a use in a long time, THANK YOU MAN!
Hell yeah! You are welcome!!!
How do I create such a preset that I can reuse? Thank you
Hey Luca, you can do so by selecting the properties you want to save, and go to the Menu Bar > Animation > Save Animation Preset
@@NoSleepCreative Thanks for your tool! When saving a preset with custom settings, it doesn't apply to other layers
Good to have you back!
Thank you for that!
You're welcome!
Dat intro tho👀. The individual corner controls alone makes this really helpful already, thanks for dropping this man 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Hahaha thanks Abraham!!
This is such great preset... Though Its common but if using this preset for masking a lot of comps on big project, it saves alot time. Thanks!!
You are welcome!!
Thank You!
You're welcome!
Damn, so happy to see you back ! Great stuff as always !
Thank you so much!
😄Blog Time I have been wanting to publish a video for awhile now, but often, I'm caught between putting it off or overpreparing. Inspired by a discussion in a recent hiking trip with friends about goals before the year ended, I made a declaration to them that I would publish a tutorial by the end of July lol. And because I have to keep my word, I quickly put together this tutorial. I have to admit that making tutorials these days has been more challenging and slower than I used to do in the past due to a combination of factors such as having a full-time job, work-life balance, health issues, overthinking what to create, etc. But I hope I can make at least a video once a month, we will see ~ - Also! If you have suggestions on improving the preset or any technical issue, please leave a comment and I will do my best to respond and troubleshoot!
just to clarify @NoSleepCreative, the Presets added on User Presets folder wont apear on the effects & presets panel??
@@jirehla-ab1671 It will appear! It will be under Animation Presets > User Presets Good question! I should cover this next time!
I did the same commands and it didn't generate lines of text, only columns, what happened?
Man! this is crazy. simple and clean thank you so much for this!
You are welcome!
Give the express in description
What is the expression?
Thanx
Thanks!
Thank you.
I have one text layer with two words separated by a comma that repeats, i want to animate their position, like in the previous tutorial, but make one row a specific colour and other row another color, how can i achieve this? Thank you 🎉
need more video like this..
Great tutorial!! Im trying to find a way to link a fill color to an image… how would I do it? Thank you so much
nice
You can't imagine how disapointed i am to discover your yt channel only now... Sutch great tutorials thanks a lot !
Welcome back! Missed your tutorials. Your Domestika course is one of the best, really, thanks a lot for all you do for this community.
Thank you so much for your kind words! There will be more to come, just gotta find time to make those tutorials hahaha
I have created my own script but it can replace only 9 lines at a time
Muchas gracias!
Hi Desmond, thank you for this video. I have just purchased your course on Domestika. Thanks for creating it. I have a question. Have you tried an app called Cavalry? Vector procedural based app where you can achieve this type of effects without coding? It is of course nowhere near as robust as AE, lacking compositing features, but I really enjoying it. BTW, it's good to see you back on YT. Cheers!
it is not working in AE 2024 .... :(
Thanks
Thank you brother for creating this in-depth tutorial. Very helpful ❤
Un grand merci, super tuto
My sourcerecattime responded so strangely and I couldnt for the life of me figure how to add a little bit of manual inputs to the rectangle path that wouldn't destroy the whole code. I couldn't get it to work but its genius how you added the slider controls first to a null. fantastic, saved me so much time. thank you
Love it!
Thanks Myron!!
Awwww Nosleep!
Thank you for this tutorial!
You are welcome!!
I found you through a random Instagram ad for courses. After a quick browse I have to say I can't believe I was never served this channel on my algorithm. No offense to others here but this isnl easily the clearest and most concise set of videos on any platform regarding expressions by an astronomically far margin.
Hey Omar! Thank you so much, I'm glad you discovered my channel!
the expression: // connect to sliders let w = 1000; let points = 200; let steps = 20; let angle = 0; let r = w / 2; let step = (Math.PI * 2) / steps; let radius = 0; let vertices = []; //main for (i = 0; i < points; i++) { angle += step; radius = i / points * r; x = Math.cos(angle) * radius; y = Math.sin(angle) * radius; vertices[i] = [x, y]; } createPath(vertices, [], [], 0)
Where have you you been? I missed you brother. Hope you continue to share your expertise with the world :)
