Animation with Markers, No Keyframes in After Effects
Marker-driven animation is, in my opinion, one of the most elegant ways to set up a composition in After Effects and playback at will. This technique is something I discovered recently and applied to my cyber-security explainer video that I am collaborating on with Andy from Attack Detect Defend.
I am showing how this expression works and how it can be applied to a composition layer, in my live streaming series Animation Co-Lab. I am currently working on a summarised tutorial on teaching how to write this expression, that will launch on my channel soon.
