In this After Effects tutorial, I’ll show you how to create procedural animations.
Procedural animations are generated with expressions to mostly create continuous random animations. Imagine you’ve set hundreds of keyframes to animate random objects. To adjust the animation, you need to touch all keyframes.

The fast and efficient way is: You use expressions that define the animation pattern.
And you use expression controls to quickly change the expressions’ values.

    A tip for 05:15 : You can right click the property, choose "Copy Expression Only", then just select all the layers you want to copy to and paste. This will automatically insert the expression to the correct property on each layer.
