When creating a path from nulls in After Effects, by simply using two intermediate null positions in between can generate a naturally smooth Bezier path.

Are you planning on releasing a course on all this expression magic? It would be such a banger!

Honestly, this is so fun to watch WITH the handles turned on in the viewport., wondering if they can be made renderavle for final. ;)

A NURBS curve with control vertices in AE, that's a cool thing to see!!

By simply offsetting the rotation along a path in After Effects, it gives this faux-3D look to the path. 👀👀👀

When you spend way too much time perfecting a method to curl a path in After Effects, is it reasonable? Curling a path in After Effects coming together. 🫡

Triggering text animation properties with bezier curves in After Effects opens up a playful way to manipulate text. In this setup, the only keyframes are for animating the path itself, while the path's length drives everything else. #AfterEffects #Animation #MotionDesign

Waveform on a path in After Effects—this time with two mask controllers! Combining them is really just about adding their amplitude values.

By constraining a path between two other animated paths, you can easily achieve intricate animations in #AfterEffects. Take a look at how I implemented this in my latest rig. #MotionGraphics

Just a waveform aligned to a path in After Effects... and it unleashes the organic vibes! 🤣😵‍💫😵‍💫

I made a script with Fable to rig photos onto a path in After Effects, and it's really fun to use. The key feature was using an effector like in C4D to adjust the images

Something I wish I learned earlier. On Windows, when trying to copy the path from the explorer, I used to click on the address bar then copy the selected text. It breaks in two scenarios: - In the Quick Access folders (like Downloads), when trying to copy the path from the address bar, it copies "Downloads" instead of the full path - When the path is too big, Windows randomly clears the path it I click where the "X" is going to appear (and I *have* to click there because it's the only blank area, clicking elsewhere triggers the navigation) It turns out that both can be avoided by simply using right click -> Copy Address.

Here's a little behind-the-scenes look at how the waveform rig works in After Effects: It simply subdivides a path, and the mask controls the amplitude of the points based on the distance.

This one’s about distance to a path in After Effects. Just visualizing how close it is at every point. 👀

I thought it would be interesting to repost this one to show how a layer can be oriented to a path in After Effects (plus a little scale constraint within a mask).

This is how the robot sees the world — straight from its camera + LiDAR. A small use case of StrikeRobot Agentic, showing how agentic systems operate in real scenarios: • Detects the target person via edge-optimized face detection • Detects obstacles in real time • Estimates distance using camera physics (beyond depth sensor limits of Unitree G1) • Plans the shortest path with A* + smooth trajectories using Bezier • Continuously replans as the environment changes ✅ Result: the robot avoids obstacles, optimizes its path, and autonomously moves toward the designated person.

Tried to create an animated wave path in After Effects without resorting to animating points on path, expressions or plugins. My work-around that poor pixel management from Wave Warp and other distortion effects. Music: Metro Boomin, James Blake - Hummingbird

A Fresnel lens is manufactured with grooves in it so the light path is changing from a single point which exposes to all sides, to a straight light path. Using this principle, a kind of "invisibily shield" can be created [video:

Just stumbled on this fun little setup: linking three nulls to the position and size of an Ellipse shape layer in After Effects, and it can stretch a circle in multiple directions.

Another test of path diffraction in After Effects. This time the amplitude is constrained within the mask limits for a fun little effect.

Using layout, scrolling and trim path features in Rive to build a custom scrollbar imagined by Dru. Since the scroll bar is just a vector, you can create any path shape you want and run it on any of our runtimes.
