You might be sleeping on loopOut(‘offset’). I use it all the time now. Also instead of an if/else statement, you can do value * pickwhip to the checkbox control

I just want to point out

As a person with a mid computer, whenever you’re happy with the property you applied expressions with, don’t forget to convert your expressions to keyframes so that it will render faster in the queue

Thank you for this, Cameron.

Straight to the point and super helpful.

Great video,
btw you can just lasso opacity to checkbox and add *100 to ae code, and it will work.

You don't HAVE to learn how to work with expressions, but it sure helps! When you're at certain level, you want as many tools at your disposal as possible.

You can save 2 line of code for your last example :
wiggle(5, directly pickwhip the slider control here)

The if statement expression was so damn confusing 🥲

[marktimothy]

In the words of Chris Rock "Pooty too good!". Excellent video. The "If" and "Else" were new to me, and I already added them into our MOGRTs. Thank you!

For the simple if statement you can use a conditional statement instead : checkbox pickwhip == 1 ? 100 : 0
