The BEST SHAPE LAYER EXPRESSIONS In After Effects | Adobe After Effects Tutorial

In this tutorial, we’re going to have some fun with expressions. You’ll learn how to create cool shape layer animations on just one layer using some simple coding, parenting values, and making slight mathematical adjustments to expressions. This tutorial isn’t just about this animation. It’s about understanding the relationship between values, understanding how to affect settings with parenting, and how making even the slightest adjustment can have a significant impact on your designs. You can use these techniques in any number of other situations.
