Example

Guiding users through the creation of custom expressions to automate repetitive tasks, like animating a character's walk cycle based on the composition's timecode.

Scenario

A user is working on a complex project requiring multiple animated elements to move in sync without manually keyframing each element. AE Wizard provides expressions that link these elements' movements, creating a dynamic and cohesive animation with less manual effort.

Example

Advising on the best practices for creating realistic particle effects such as smoke, fire, or water, using After Effects' built-in tools like Particle World or third-party plugins like Trapcode Particular.

Scenario

A filmmaker needs to add realistic smoke effects to a scene without the budget for practical effects or high-end CGI. AE Wizard suggests an approach using After Effects' particle systems to achieve a realistic look, offering step-by-step advice on settings adjustments to mimic the physics of smoke.

Example

Providing strategies for optimizing project workflows, such as using scripts to automate routine tasks or setting up a project file structure that saves time in the long run.

Scenario
