Automatic Proximity Reactions in After Effects

[@Aalu_6969]

THESE ARE THE TYPE OF TUTORIALS THAT PEOPLE SELL AS COURSES BUT THIS GUY SAVED US .

[@shonthelawn]

You can right click on the position property where you paste the initial expression, click "copy expression only" then highlight all your other layers, and then paste. You don't have to paste the expression individually on every layer. Hope that helps.

[@OllySpin]

yes thanks, i really dont' know why my stupid brain forgot that right before recording this tutorial

[@yeswecancreate]

@@OllySpin your genius brain?

[@tompainter7167]

came to the comments looking for this. thank you

[@tompainter7167]

@shonthelawn I'm thinking it would be amazing if there was a way to share an expression amongst many objects, but it executes different for each object depending on its other unique parameters, I googled it but didnt find much

[@shonthelawn]

This is certainly some after effects wizardry. Nice job.

[@OllySpin]

thanks!

AFTER EFFECTS asks permission from this guy to crash

ahahah best comment I've ever received!

[@pauliustarvydas]

I just want to say that the design of all the graphics in this tutorial is so clean, greatly communicates the messages and just dope overall. Great design doesn't go unnoticed!

[@guilhermetorresbarboza8993]

That is one of the most mind blowing Ae tutorials I've ever watched. Such ingenious techniques

[@DCmotion-he6sm]

This is gold, more and more i realise the power of knowing to write expressions. You have a course or know of any one that teach advance expressions? Thanks for the tutorial!

[@OllySpin]

I'm absolutetely not an expression expert, I'm just using Claude or Chatgpt all the time!

[@yonlaycabrera4431]

Duik has a very handy function for doing that specific effect.

[@Sslais]

I really really love this tutorial

[@stearfears.1]

one of my fav teacher!

[@RaoniLima43]

What an INCREDIBLE tutorial man, I loved it and can't wait do something with this, thank you very much for taking the time to record and post this :)

[@kerimdemir1712]

You explained such a complex animation so easy that I want to recreate it immediately. The only thing is to give the user the possibility to control the NULL object...

[@stephanzammit]

Great to see your take on this technique! I love the face idea 👌🙂

[@ShadmanShakibAlvy]

We need more videos like that. If you are very busy please make short short video. It will help us a lot.

[@Sslais]

Yeeees please

[@antenjesu2077]

[@antoniopepe]

you can copy expression only and paste to all the other in one go.

I use the Mograph AE AE script for this. Its so easy to add almost any property to the field.

[@OllySpin]

@@sunsetpark_fpv I really wanted to try it, I will soon! 😉

[@cauto84]

wouldn't be more comfortable to have the face inside the sphere comp and control its movement and expression through essential properties?

[@OllySpin]

i would love to but one a week it's impossible!

[@SonPham-cj4rl]

Thank for tutorial

[@riazulrahil]

IMPRESSIVE!!!

[@WilliamsFabiánMorales]

Para los que lo tienen en español, tienen que cambiar la palabra "slider" por "deslizador" en las expresiones.

[@jasonpbass]

couldn't you make one precomp with all of the face animation and expressions pointing to the parent comp and effector? this would eliminate having to copy and paste expressions individually to each of the 24 faces. might or might not work but worth investigation to reduce redundancy and increase efficiency.

[@OllySpin]

do you mean with the expression applied to the precomp instead of the faces?

[@jasonpbass]

@@OllySpin the expression would be in the precomp but pointing to the parent comp assets.

[@jasonpbass]

@@OllySpin i can't think of it but it's like comp("parentname").layer("layername") etc. or you could open both timelines and pickwhip.

[@AryoDimas]

Amazing 😲😲

[@MienLeHoang]

Thanks a lot. Do you have any recommendations for animators on how to start learning code? Like where to start? What languages should I focus on?... Mainly to understand and use Ae expression effectively. I can write simple once but it is just a copycat of the surface. I would like to try to dive deeper to know how, why, and how should it be written so I can start to write more complicated ones. It's so amazing what people can do with Ae expressions instead of 3rd party plugins only

[@leizingyiu]

Is it possible to do this : Package a single emoji into a precomp, read the data on the layer being referenced internally, so that each precomp is presented in a way that is related to the target layer

[@swanandjadhav3379]

problem - influnce by position null is only affecting one ball at a time

[@uploadsnstuff8902]

GOAT

[@OktayATALAYofficial]

Did you know you can right click on the property that has the expression and click "Copy Expression Only", select all layers you want to apply your expression and just cmd+v | ctrl+v?

[@bash3041]

[@nxtica]

really cool

[@OllySpin]

Thanks!

[@folabipraise]

How did he create the light glow on the control ball

[@OllySpin]

very simple: create a small white circle shape layer for the ball. add drop shadow with a light green color. Under that create a new solid layer, with a shade that is darker than the drop shadow but lighter than the background. On this solid layer draw a circular mask and set the feather at 800. parent everything to the null and that's it! ;)

[@DakshinaRaghuraman]

Woahh!

[@Taro.Takeda]

What does "dir" in the expression stand for?

[@mrelad.]

isnt there a way to just make one face react and repeat the other shapes with code or something more optimized ?

[@majidmiraqae4368]

I need the code for changing the color

[@gravityb1980]

After entering code in position column object wasn't react is anythings that miss so ?

[@Kay.editor]

Sir can you teach us more complex animation....

[@anjector]

wow

Cool 👍👍👍

[@bash3041]

Can anyone tell how did he make a lightning ball?

[@OllySpin]

very simple! the lighting ball is just a flat white circle with a very small blur effect. On the dark green bakground there is a lighter green very big faded circle that is parented to the smaller circle position.

1:28 i have lot of expressions errors when i paste the expressions, i change a few things but it tell me "Slider" in class "Group" can't be found, someone have a solution ? i'm using after effects 2025 and my software is in French.
