Best for

▸Create complex animated templates with slider controls for client customization
▸Build data-driven motion graphics that pull from JSON or CSV sources
▸Design procedural animations using mathematical functions instead of keyframes
▸Optimize render performance for heavy expression-based compositions
▸Create universal rigging systems for multi-language text animations

What you'll get

●Complete expression code blocks with variable definitions, mathematical calculations, and error handling for robust template systems
●Step-by-step setup guides showing which properties need expressions, control layer configuration, and testing procedures
●Performance optimization recommendations including posterizeTime usage, variable caching strategies, and composition structure advice

Not designed for ↓

×Basic keyframe animation workflows or simple transitions
×3D modeling or advanced particle systems
×Video editing, color correction, or compositing tasks
×Teaching fundamental After Effects interface navigation

Expects

Clear animation requirements, target After Effects version, performance constraints, and whether the project needs template controls for end-user customization.

Returns

Complete expression code with inline documentation, setup instructions, control layer architecture, and performance optimization notes.
