exactly what i was about to write great work

I enjoy how these tutorials aren't boring and you add some "spice" into it haha. Great tutorials! thanks for uploading as well!

Always watch your tutorials cause they are just so well done. i used to be nothing but sony vegas pro, but in the path like 4 months i would say i just learn so many things and it cut down work in a big way and i can thank you for that! I also just paused the video at 2 minutes and opened up my after effects so i can follow along cause i've never done that before and i think it would help me in my own creative ways. anyways thanks alot! you also look/sound so much like SEANANNERS!!!!!

Well done man! Btw i think you're the funniest teacher ever. Keep on!

Really good tut. "Probably the dumbest thing you'll ever see" Also the rampant use of "Idk, who cares" kills me.

Reliably you don't just do the obvious, you really build some smarts in all your tutes. Nice work!

Dude. You are so good it's absurd. Can't even tell you how much I have learned from this channel.

Love the Shft+hotkey thing you mention there!

Wow, great tutorials, great sense of humor, great techniques. Thanks for contributing your awesome tutorials to the AE community!

Genius way of solving this visuals! Love the sound effects I also have this habit!! One love! Nice work!

Hey Evan! Just wanted to say thanks for all of your videos. I teach English as a second language and I wanted to make a visually appealing way for people to learn English grammar. I never used Adobe After Effects before watching your videos but because of your tutorials, I am now able to start a video project with a friend of mine. I think you will probably see my many attempts at your handiwork here: Present Continuous (Present Progressive) Thanks Again!

Was looking for this tutorial not sure what I'd find but the moment I saw Evan Abrams I knew I was in good hands.

I love you. I have been looking for this so much!!! Your tutorial is the easiest to follow along with the best results

You're probably the #1 person for After Effects tutorials! Totally subscribed:)

Listening to this guy is fun!

Awesome tutorial! I love how flexible and customizable this is :)

New here and loving all these tutorials. Just wanted to say thanks!

this channel rules. Thanx so much for sharing. been working for a few years with AE, i'm sorry i didn't found this before. Learning a lot.

The opening title was sweet, it would make a nice tutorial. I know you've covered the individual components ins other tutorials, but what we sometimes need is a tutorial to understand the work flow of putting it all together. Text, Shape layer and then the connected dots set to the follow the audio, very nice as always

I love your tutorials man!

You are the man. All of your videos are incredible thanks a bunch

I tried this a year and a half ago with no success, but tried again today and finally got the hang of it! Thanks! haha

thanks for the constant uploads these tutorials help a lot

one of my favorite tutorial. thank you!

Cool tuto dude. Keep up the good work

YES absolute genius, exactly what I was looking for thank you! :)

love your tutorials

I like the sound effects u make while teaching (liked suscribed on 0.26 secs xD )

Thanks Evan! That's a great tutorial!

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you.

excellent tut, exactly what i was looking for!

Best soft soft Introduction Ever!!

Thanks for the expressions, I just used them with a tweak to animate a grid of dots and lines random and back to organised!

Thanks Evan dude i figured it and yeah u was right it was the expressions i was missing a couple of slight quotations ...... I'm dyslexic so i missed it love your tutorials though really intuitive and easy to follow

The introduction was very helpful, thanks!

wow i had no idea you could script in ae! that's awesome.

Thanks for the help! like your logo animation too.. nice clean simple.

Thank you!! Great technique and some laughs. Much appreciated.

Love it. Thank you!

Thanks very much for this tutorial. Was very helpful

you re amazing man.. what a tutorials. booooooooooooooooom

Thanks!!! Great work!

Great tutorial, thanks

Well done and thanks a lot!

Thank you dude. it works

Thanks a lot! This one saves the day!

This is fun. You make fun things and I thank you for it.

Acording to AcAnimate this is going to safe me 25 bucks, so thank you for that! ;-) It's a great way of animating stuff. Again an amazing tut, Evan. Keep up the good work!

Cool Tutorial!

I have a more simple way to connect lots of dots together with out the needs for heaps of pickwhips. On your first Beam effect layer add the expression control "Layer Control" and rename it to 'Start Point'. Duplicate it and rename this one 'End Point'. Then you need to type in the expression window for starting point - effect("Start Point")("Layer").toComp([0,0,0]); -and for the ending point put in - effect("End Point")("Layer").toComp([0,0,0]); -. Now you can just select the layers you want to connect together from the drop down boxes. So 3 beam layers would make a triangle if you connect Dot 1 to Dot 2, Dot 2 to Dot 3 and Dot 3 to Dot 1.

Hold ALT and click the stopwatch on the property you want to animate. Then copy and paste it into the expression window. Haven't gone through the tut but guessing its for the "layer control" property?

Really rad tutorial man. Good technique to know

thank u helped me a lot

Another great tutorial, thanks! :-)

Great teacher! Thanks! :)

Now I really wanna grab me some sliders. Thanks ECAbrams.

Thanks for all this goods, man. My boss loves me now!!!!

Years later and this has still helped me!!!

works, chock-full thanks!

thanks dude!

Thanks a lot!!

I'd like a sound pack with all the WAAAUHH GNEEOOOWWW. haha, great tutorial

I think it would great to have a tutorial on how you made the other part of the intro, the way that you had the shapes reveal the text.

Hi Evan, great tutorial (as all of your tuts are). Quick question: is there a way to change the beam into dotted lines? Thanks! Dimi

You're hilarious - Thank you for all your videos!

somehow I did thing exactly right up until 7:40 and when I click on the graph editor my tangents are different. they make a upside down "V" shape rather than your sideways "S" shape. it doesn't make any sense....

very fine

Great Thanks.

cool, thank you!

Wayyyy better techniques then having to use expressions with custom code thanks!

Nice tutorial ! But I wandered if there is also a technique to have curved lines or bezier type lines connect with the dots, instead of straight lines. And so when you move the dots, you can animate the lines wobbling with it or they automatically wobble.

Thanks!

Thank you very much , now I will understand the

can I just say that I love your narrating? "0,50? yeah I can live with that" xD

nice!!

i love your tutorials by the way and I'm currently doing a graphic design course at college in my second year and doing a motion graphics module and your my go to guy so please please help

Hi ECAbrams and thanks a lot for this tutorial. I am a beginner with expressions but it was easy to build the dots following your instructions. I was even able to attached some text to one of the dots position. My question is: How can I move all the elements to the left without losing all the settings already build? I tried to add a null to parent all of them but at the time that added it all of the lines got disconnectd from the dots. Thanks in advance for your time to answer.

nice one! thanks a lot :D

Damn! Beam! I should have guessed!) Nice tut man!

Great and funny tutorial, thank you! I would love to make this, but I'm doing something wrong. My graph after applying the easy ease to the amplitude animation is a parabola rather than a sinus curve and as a result, the dot doesn't move like yours. I triple-checked the expressions and they seem to be correct. Any suggestions on where my mistake is? Thanks again!

After a while it starts to sound like Seth Rogen is teaching me after effects lol. Great tutorial btw.

You're the best

thanks

Great tutorial. Also I like your intro logo animation. How was that done?

You just saved me 25$.. Thanks Mann!..

hey, very interesting tutorial, beautiful and clever technique. but i am new to this whole expression thing, I am following you step by step, but it seems that i am missing something, so it would be great if you can share with us the scripts that you used. thank you

I wrote a program in Processing once that did something similar to this. It allowed the user to click on the screen, adding a dot, and every dot would automatically get connected to every other dot. Maybe something similar would be possible in AE, as opposed to buying expensive plugins such as Plexus.

Thanks. Could you also post the expression you used in the description. Its difficult to make out from the video.

dude tNice tutorials is super good! subbed

When I move the amplitude slider, on your screen goes to the right, on mine goes to the left side, any tips on how to fix this? or why it goes the other way? Thank you. ps. I love your tutorials !! They're rellay cool and helpful!

u are the best. :D

ok great I just found the fix further down - here it is... the graph editor can show you speed over time or values over time. Likely you are looking at the other view. Change the view of the graph editor settings by clicking on the bottons at the bottom of the graph editor.

I LOVE YOU

7 years after I'm watching this again. Thanks to KZread recommendations
