A simple trick for animating clouds in a realistic fashion, without creating masks.

Learn some fun techniques to get interesting animation by playing with the pivot points of layers and nulls objects

Create a futuristic sniper scope using After Effects expressions and null object animation.

Learn how to rig a still image using the Puppet Pin tool and animate it using only After Effects...

The project is driven by two basic compositions - one contains the image to be wiped on and the other contains a very basic gradient to control the direction of the wipe.

Arranging many images or videos into a grid can be quite a tedious process if you do it manually because you generally want to tweak spacing and size as you go...

This example shows using custom particles. The particles are small (200*200 pixels) compositions containing a few animated solids that kind of resemble birds, bats and butterflies.

This example expression instructs a layer to be at the same position as the next higher layer in the Timeline panel, but delayed by a specified amount of time (in this case, 0.5 seconds). You can set similar expressions for the other geometric properties.
