Expressions help you a long way, when you want to avoid creating tens or hundreds of keyframes by hand. You can create relationships between layer properties and use one property‘s key frames to dynamically animate other layers.
Expressions are based on the standard JavaScript language, but knowledge of JavaScript is not essential to use expressions. You can also create expressions by using the pick whip or by copying simple examples and modifying them as per your needs.

Nice use of after effects it helps to make our site more attractive, thanks for sharing with us such a nice tips.
Am curious as to how AE will make your site more attractive. I know this was posted sometime back but I would love it if Kev came back to just drop a hi with a thing AE enhanced his site’s looks. Am all saying this because I think flash in a site makes it suck*
MotionScript has something about AE expressions but thanks to Rana she drew more resources as opposed to MotionScript
If you have a background with some basic programming knowledge, it’ll be easy to learn AE Scripts.
AE scripts are I think a bit hard even if someone have some basic programming knowledge Manuel. Just my opinion.
I myself never tried AE at once but reading the post it looks like i should learn to use it. Its great.
All these resources are very much useful for me keep up this good work.

cryptic ,terse ,enigmatic and more.
all these writers are not educators in the least ,
applicators and users of the software yes.
teachers no way.
there is a total lack of anotation provided ,spelling out the reasoning for each line in use.
is this due to arrogance or a nerd factor ?
with out full explanations this is little more than a collection of junk.
your not supposed to feel good about your self for making indecipherable piles of crap !
