This tutorial video has been translated into English with a voice-over, but the software interface remains in French.

Implementation of advanced expressions on a shape layer to create random shapes on a single layer automatically.

Preview

In this new video tutorial on After Effects, we will learn new advanced expressions associated with shape layers.

We will then be able to create on the fly hundreds of random shapes automatically, on a single shape layer.
Each sub-element will have its own position, size, color and geometry, while remaining editable.

If you have always wanted to add the expression index on a sub-element of a shape layer, this tutorial is for you!

Although the result is "fun", this tutorial is intended rather to intermediate users, who are not afraid of expressions.
