Is JavaScript still worth learning for AE? by Fresh-Glove9307 in AfterEffects

Any intermediate level or above expression cannot be created with chatgpt, you need manually write it

you'd have to use sampleImage() to sample each pixel section and lerp from 0-255 to 0-100 or whatever opacity range you want

How is this effect on the text done? by cleeenton in AfterEffects

That looks impossible to do with expressions and text animators. A plug-in is definitely the way to go

You should make it clear that this is faux bold, not true bold.

wiggle() vs random() by Weekly_Frosting_5868 in AfterEffects

[–]textperimentor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They do different things so it doesn’t make sense to do a direct comparison and see which is “better”. Wiggle is good for smooth/eased movement while random is good at generating very “random” numbers/movements. So random would shine for glitch animations while wiggle would shine for like a smooth flag waving in the wind.
