After Effects Tutorial | QUICK TIP | Scale Bounce

This QUICK TIP After Effects Tutorial demonstrates a very simple way to create a springy motion graphics effect when using scale keyframes and Graph Editor. It can also be applied to other parameters such as rotation and position.

Requirements for this tutorial:
AfterEffects (Basic Understanding)

These tutorials are intended as a general overview of features.
So if you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the comments section below and I'll do my best to answer for you. I may do more detailed tutorials at a later date.

Bravo for making a tutorial under two minutes. There are too many crappy tutorial channels out there that don't just get to the point.

[RizkyRiplay]

Short, useful and to the point! Lovee your tutorials, subscribeeed!

[designchampions]

that was a really great, concise, informative tutorial. I got a lot out of it

[ThusoMbedzi]

Lee, you are literally the ONLY channel I will follow - stsraight to the point real flippen' awesomness.

[beattyfamily]

I like this. You can even punch up the bounce by adjusting the tangent on the 2nd keyframe to make the approach steeper.

[johnloftoniv]

Super helpful! And I love how quick it was, too.

[jonfreeze]

You rock! Right to the point, no riff raff!

[TrentisN]

Try this in you scale/position/rotation expression:



amp = 0.04;
freq = 3.0;
decay = 6.0;
n = 0;
if (numKeys > 0){
n = nearestKey(time).index;
if (key(n).time > time){
n--;
}}
if (n == 0){ t = 0;
}else{
t = time - key(n).time;
}
if (n > 0 && t < 1){
v = velocityAtTime(key(n).time - thisComp.frameDuration/10);
value +
}else{value}

[samuelgarst]

This is awesome, very helpful. Thank you

[astrofunkofficial]

I am very new to after effects. I have circles that I was looking to do exactly what you are doing however when i scale my items in my project they move in the composition. What am i doing wrong with my comp that is causing this?

[mateuspollonio]

very helpful your tutorial, i wasn't finding a expression, but your tutorial did what I want, thank you!

[santiagokunst]

Excelent tutorials, I need more tutorial please!

[kevinjlakner]

hey i having troubles, when I add two keyframes in the graphic editor and I try to move the keyframes, each one split into two mini keyframes and I can only move half of the keyframe, you know why is that?

[eminiqueWoke]

Thanks!! Is it the same process for text?

[Matoseb]

Simple and effective but I still prefer using expressions for that.

[Bagles]

why didnt you explain how to add the keyframes or scale??

[barboradarmova]

Is there a way how to NOT do it manually? Like a Flex modifier in 3ds max? Something I can adjust parametrically, perhaps? It is not practical to have all your bounces baked into animation.
