This is the highest level I've seen on a tutorial... like ever. Perfectly planned out, explains all the details and no wasted time. I rarely comment on stuff, but this tutorial deserves some serious love. Thank you!!!

ECAbrams Every damn time. Learnt so much from you over the years. Thank you.

Thank you for breaking this down in plain english! I am not math-minded and have hesitated to learn expressions because it's not the easiest thing for me to pick up immediately, but the clear explanations paired with accompanying visuals made this soooo much easier to understand. I also appreciate your delivery -- digestible for a beginner without skipping over the basics or sounding condescending

This comment has made my morning. There were definitely earlier scripts and recordings that were a bit too "math-splaining". I feel like taking the time on this was just validated :)

Thank you so much for concise and clear explanation explains! Absolutely stunning tutorial!

I'm fascinated by the animations used to describe the concepts in this video. Just blown away at the quality of this content.

I really love the effort you put on to demonstrate how it basically works in the beginning! Thank you for the tutorial.

Wow, you successfully explained a subject that even after months of studying it in high school nobody understood.

the amount of work that was done before opening after effect to explain it is amazing i love it thanks !!

you just saved me hours of painstaking matching of key frames in different stroke modifiers. thank you.

there's no way I would've cared or bothered with learning about this function had I not discovered this beautifully crafted tutorial. THANK YOU

Have watched quite a lot of tutorials for expressions and I have to say that this one is really ON POINT .

The patient, concise and CLEAR explanation of the set up of variables has been profoundly useful - THANK YOU!!

Excelente!! Como aporte comento que en las nuevas versiones hay que definir x, y, a y f con var o const o de lo contrario dará error. Saludos!

Math.sin() - The entire swinging motion occurs from this expression. Math.sin() creates a sine wave, an occilating value positive and negative from the original starting value it is given. There are two values that you can give this expression to effect it’s output. The first being it’s source value, Math.sin(SOURCE VALUE). This is traditionally assigned to time, since time’s value increases exponentially with each frame of your After Effects timeline. The second value isn’t really mentioned anywhere, it literally is an optional modifier where we basically multiply the resulting output value of Math.sin() by another value. This increases it’s overall resulting value. You do this by using the “*” multiplication operator. So Math.sin(time)*20 will produce a value 20 times greater. In addition to modifying the final result, you can also modify the speed of time in the same way. So Math.sin(time*2)*20 will make time move 2 times as fast with the same 20 times greater value.

Best of the best. It's explicit and easy to understand to math dumbass like me. You can't find a better tut to explain Math.sin online. Truly appreciate and salute your effort.

A carafe of wine, After Effects, and this beautiful explanation of Math.sin. I sat here all evening tinkering along with this tutorial. THANK YOU.

x=value[0]; a=240; f=5; y=Math.sin(time*2*Math.PI*f)*a; [x,y]

This is just so calming to watch . bless you for being so generous with your knowledge and c reativity

What an epic 13 mins!! , Great as always.

This is amazing. I'm definitely going to rewatch this video just for the beauty of it. Thank you for creating this tutorial

Damn! You have such a pleasant voice for these kind of tutorials. Now I can listen to them all day!!!

This is incredible. Thank you so much for all this effort to make something great!

Besides subtracting in-point time from current time, you can determine the phase (in radians) of the wave according to y=a*sin(2*Pi*f*time+phase) but it gets a little sciency. Your solution is easier.

Loved the motion graphics explanation of the function!

You are a genius Evan! Shout out to you!

AMAZING EXPLAINATION & ANIMATION!

Nice guide cheers!

i really , really like the new style keep it up Charles

Thank you so much for this tutorial!

You have done a great job! You don't know what it means to me.

the best ae tutorial ever please do more on expressions

Thank u very much, Sir you teach us very well, brilliant work, biggest like fully played, stay blessed sir

Not a second wasted … had to play it at .75 speed 😅 VERY nutritious, THANK YOU!

Great stuff, thanks for explaining! The buttery voice certainly helps :D

Math is cool everywhere!

I love this. Of course dampening could be added with Math.exp(), using a time argument and mostly likely very small negative constant of decay, say 50*Math.sin(t)*Math.exp(t*-.001) or something...... Though, I could have sworn I saw something in the examples that at least resembled that in the video. You might have just convinced me to start using javascript in AfterEffects rather than python for my own tutorial videos. I am way more familiar with python but exporting the videos for VPython and manim is a painful experience. Professional tools for professional results, i guess! :-)

How do you apply python inside Ae? Can the expression accept python based expressions?

@TheRealNickG

6 жыл бұрын

ECAbrams I just noticed that the way I put it did imply that I use python in AE. I use the manim (a la 3blue1brown) library via Anaconda for my upcoming algebra series. I went to a conference a few years back where I got to meet the makers of vpython for physics animations, which I very much enjoyed using my last year of college. I'm learning to use Adobe CC stuff for the finishing touches and my original point was that you have put out such a nice explanation here that I'm questioning my entire workflow. I have stopped work altogether temporarily to assess the situation. I want to give any future subscribers the best quality I can deliver and this made my options blown wide open. Maybe it was luck, but I am still very grateful.

great tutorial, thanks!

Thanks for the tutorials EVAN :)

This was seriously helpful. Could never quite figure out how to work in that Math.sin expression. Math.exp next? Loveya

Thanks for the tutorial!

Evan, is it safe to assume the intro section from 2:29 onward (the black and blue wave shapes) was created using Wave Warp or is there some way to apply Math.sin to shape paths?

I like the new intro, very cool!

Great work, Thanks!

MY GOD THIS ANIMATION OOOOOOOOOOOOOH !

this is soooooo usefull! thank u so much!

A very didactic tutorial, thank you very much. I had already guessed how to move objects along a sinusoid, but what I would like to do is draw a sinusoid. Or any other mathematical curve. Is it possible ?
