Gradient Controller - After Effects Tutorial

In this After Effects motion graphic tutorial we are going to be taking a look at how to do get a radial scaling effect in after effects using a Gradient Controller. This technique uses expressions to allow for a gradient ramp to control the scale. Although this may seem easy and simple, there are a lot of really great layer controls available. x = thisComp.layer("Gradient").sampleImage(transform.position, [.5,.5]/2, true, time)[0]; 100*[x,x] www.moboxgraphics.com × Project Files - https://www.patreon.com/posts/16937315 × Twitter - https://twitter.com/MOBOXGRAPHICS × Instagram - https://www.Instagram.com/MOBOXGRAPHICS × Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/MOBOXGRAPHICS × Discord - https://discord.gg/yNPBYY6 -------------------------------- Our Gear: https://www.amazon.com/shop/moboxgraphics × Keyboard - Logitech G513 - https://amzn.to/2lNgyjq × Mouse - Logitech G402 - https://amzn.to/2lLYshJ × Microphone - Rode NT-USB - https://amzn.to/2lgudyZ × CPU - Intel i7 8700k @ 4.88GHz - https://amzn.to/2jQbfza × CPU Cooler - Corsair H100i v2 - https://amzn.to/2jOB2Yv × Motherboard - ASUS TUF Z370-PRO - https://amzn.to/2lNlfd3 × GPU - Gigabyte GTX 1080 - Discontinued × RAM - 64GB G.Skill 3200 DDR4 × Storage - 3 x 1TB Samsung SSD × Sound Card - ASUS Xonar DGX HD --------------------------------- Dan Ebberts's Expressions! http://www.motionscript.com/design-guide/sample-image.html Workbench Tutorial w/ different method https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkFRcE21ugY Contributors: Mike Ridolfi × @MikeInHD Eli Prenten × @Twistereli Music: https://www.YouTube.com/MOBOXMUSIC Motion v2 Tool: http://www.mtmograph.com/motion/ Editor's Note: Radial scale in after effects utilize a gradient to control the scale on dependent layers. How to setup and use a gradient in after effects is essential for the use of an advanced shape or object scale system. We will show you the easy way to produce a gradient and how to use that gradient to control the scale in this after effects scale tutorial. Learning how to scale in ae is important, but learning how to use a scale controller in after effects give you infinity more control. Keep on using the scale feature and I hope you learned a thing or two from this ae scale tutorial. Thanks! #AfterEffects #tutorial #abstract #wave #mobox
