Tip 057 - How To Offset Animation in After Effects

[@nelsmclaughlin3990]

The easiest expression I've come across for this type of effect, and so well explained. Finally found something easy enough for a beginner to understand!

[@CrossCutCreators]

This saved the day for me!!! I learned so much more than you actually showed just by inference!!!!!! Thank you!

[@lomaxdesigns1716]

Very good tutorial, particularly given how daunting expressions are.

[@danielrobjent505]

Hey! Thank you so much for this, I have used it in many projects now! However, I am trying to use this on one now, but with a whole bunch of objects that don't have the same scale, they all vary for 30% to 100% scale. Is there a way to still do this same action, while keeping the original size ratios?

[@Eye_can_see_you]

This was a great help. Many thanks!

[@EmirUysal]

very nice trick, very well explained. thank you

[@demovideos2078]

thank you sergey, you're a life savior

[@ukramedia]

Always a pleasure and never a chore. :-)

[@miph00]

This is such a good Video. Thanks !!!

[@anjahose]

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to know how to do. You explained it very clearly and I was able to get this done super quickly.

[@iliyastoyanoff3132]

Brilliant! Thanks!

[@JayBaggio]

Thanks for this. what if u want to offset but not going in order (toward the left and up). What if u want different times spread all over the canvas, with no order?

[@sturm3d]

nice, that was multiple lessons at once. it is very well explained, thankyou!

[@ukramedia]

Thanks, Christian!

[@nikitamalkov6160]

Thank you so much Sergey!

[@ccCat888]

This is neat! And easier to understand!

[@ukramedia]

I'm glad you found this useful. Thanks for watching, Ying!

[@brcanoza]

Awesome knowledge!!! Thank you! I type .1, but the slider gives me 1,00 instead of 0.10. Don't know why.

[@wetwindisland6652]

Very well explained. Thank you.

[@beatmonkey]

Brilliant, short, well explained and to the point! Thank you :)

[@Nutria1828]

Thanks a lot! very very useful and fast to learn.

[@PaulSmith-xu4lp]

Amazing :) - thank you... But how would you randomize the sequence of the offset? Like have the layers scale up at time times? Not in a row ?

[@mervat.]

Thank you🤩🌹🌹

[@andluizsilva]

I did something similar without expressions and I wasted a lot of time fixing the keyframes, ukramedia did in practically 1/5 of the time besides an easier customization, thx again !

[@ukramedia]

We've all been there, Anderson. I'm glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching it!

[@rsr_10]

Hey! Thanks for this awesome video! I am a graphic designer, on an intermediate level....I really wanna get into expression based animation. I even have an IT degree so I'm not that far away from understanding expressions. Could you guide me to how I can learn it? That would be just wonderful :)

[@1stPenokom]

This is so helpful, thank you for making this tutorial!

[@daviddmotion]

Thank you so much for your tutorials man! Extremely helpful!

[@ukramedia]

Thank you for watching them, David!

[@MRTOXICO305]

Sergei YOU DA MAN!!!

[@ataullahk4838]

nice😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@sturm3d]

did you mention that ctrl alt A shortcut before? i don't remember having heart of it before, it is unbelievable - so handy and so far I had never made use of it..

[@ukramedia]

I think I have mentioned it before in one of my "Useful Trick in Ae" tutorials.

[@ammadanimations]

what about if we want to apply this into different shapes in a single layer ?

[@mehdiarjmandi5280]

really tnx

[@César.Tejada]

How can I do that effect using shape layers with a repeater?

[@colinmoore1571]

Good stuff, keep it up.

[@ukramedia]

Thanks, Colin!

[@jeffmonnery]

Thank you Sergei! Really useful :D

[@ukramedia]

again... THANK YOU, JEFF! :-)

[@colorblindcreative4710]

Can this be done with position instead of scale? All my layers seem to start from the same position now

[@ukramedia]

It can be done in scale as well.

[@colorblindcreative4710]

@@ukramedia I want to do it with the position. With position, all my objects start from the same position.

[@mahbubhasan204]

thanks for the tutorial..

[@ukramedia]

Thanks, Mahbub!

[@yuratimes7358]

After Effects 2021 Update: In offset = thisComp.layer("Offset").effect("Offset")("Slider") change the Offset to Slider Control it should be like this: offset = thisComp.layer("Offset").effect("Slider Control")("Slider")

[@daniellafrance]

Thanks Sergei!

[@ukramedia]

Thank YOU, Daniel!

[@Corvo_crypt]

i have a question this expression have a limit of layer to aply?? because i have a proyect with 441 layer and after layer 227 apears a mesage of error

[@ukramedia]

I'm not sure about that, I've never tried this many layers.

[@czcina]

THANK YO!!!!

[@amgd3s1gn95]

U are the best^3

[@CondePablo]

for some reason this not work if you want to do it on opacity property

[@JonJagsNee]

Watched previous video and thought...hmmmm, is it possible to offset layers based on the animation length? Next day, this....Sergei is a wizard

[@ukramedia]

:-) I was reading your mind.
