TextDelay overview by Clay Asbury

This week on "Show Me Everything" we are taking our friends, fans and users on a journey from last month. We lift the frying pan off the stove to reveal how we really cook our plugins. Text Border and Bezier node take centre stage where we share something exciting and something not so exciting about both of these plugins. We take a long hard look and uses of Cartoon Moblur out in the big bad world and a wild wild west review of our plugin "Text Delay". This episode also has a bonus section in the dvd chapters (aka at the end) where Digby shares about his first boxing bout and the life shattering discoveries this lead too. 

Beautiful and mesmerizing using Animography's Barbour animated typeface by Andreas Wannerstedt

This class gives you a systematic overview of the basics of the expressions language in After Effects. You learn how to do basic math and how to use variables to access almost everything in your project. This allows you, for example, to place layers relative to other layer or let them adjust to the size of the composition automatically. We also show how to scale and offset a motion path with expressions.

Charles Yeager shows us an easy way to create 360° planet textures with Mantra VR and the built-in Immersive features in After Effects CC 2018. We see the basic technique to create an endless variety.

Another great Stardust tutorial by Gui Esp showing how to set up the motion node to look at a specific layer.

In the new After Effects CC 2018.1 you can now import json and jsx files to use directly in expressions. So instead of copying and pasting your expressions code again and again, you can keep your functions in one, central location now and access them easily from any expression. Work more efficiently and build your own expressions library file that you can reuse in any project!

friedpixels aka James Ramirez covers some workflow basics on how to use Stardust in After Effects to create user interfaces.
