Don&#8217;t we all! Well, we&#8217;ve got you covered with this impressive After Effects expressions cheat sheet. <\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last night, I was served an Instagram comedy reel by a developer. The first part of the video had the developer in a hoody hunched on his chair, and it read: <em>When you just start coding<\/em>, and the character googles: <em>How do I code a div?<\/em> It then skips ten years ahead when the character is now a successful developer with a large desk and expensive setup. And he, once again, googles: <em>How do I code a div?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The skit suggests that no matter your experience, sometimes the basics require a slight refresh to nudge that memory awake. I also have something similar to which I constantly need refreshers on, and that&#8217;s After Effects expressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7DFkRVXifdE?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;start=79&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"after-effects-expressions\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">After Effects Expressions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I use them quite often. However, I&#8217;ll still find myself sometimes googling &#8220;After Effects loop keyframe expression,&#8221; even though I\u2019ve done it a gazillion times in the past. Like the developer skit, there&#8217;s a form of coding with expressions, and anything regarding coding or math isn\u2019t my strong point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, starting today, I think Google will assume I\u2019ve become an expressions master as I&#8217;ll no longer be googling that information. Unfortunately, I\u2019ve not become a human dictionary of all things After Effects expressions. Instead, I\u2019ve come across this convenient and animated expressions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodboy.ninja\/expressionscheatsheet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">cheat sheet<\/a> by Good Boy Ninja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/After-Effects-Expressions-Cheat-Sheet-1.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/After-Effects-Expressions-Cheat-Sheet-1.jpg\" alt=\"After Effects Expressions Cheat Sheet \" class=\"wp-image-159405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/After-Effects-Expressions-Cheat-Sheet-1.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/After-Effects-Expressions-Cheat-Sheet-1.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/After-Effects-Expressions-Cheat-Sheet-1.jpg?resize=277,147 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/After-Effects-Expressions-Cheat-Sheet-1.jpg?resize=359,190 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/After-Effects-Expressions-Cheat-Sheet-1.jpg?resize=543,288 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/After-Effects-Expressions-Cheat-Sheet-1.jpg?resize=560,297 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/After-Effects-Expressions-Cheat-Sheet-1.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>After Effects expressions cheat sheet.

And, given that I seemingly like to collect After Effects plug-ins and scripts like Thanos collects infinity stones, I\u2019m sure I\u2019ll be picking up some of these enticing tools shortly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outside of that, just yesterday, they released an After Effects Expression <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodboy.ninja\/expressionscheatsheet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">cheat sheet<\/a>. However, I feel like calling it a cheat sheet somewhat diminishes the grandeur of the web page because it\u2019s not just your average cheat sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon clicking one of the plethora of expressions available, you&#8217;re greeted with a pop-up window that inundates you with information about the expression&#8212;<meta charset=\"utf-8\">what the expression does in an animated form, how it does it, how to do it, and the variables available to the expression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cheat-Sheet-2.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cheat-Sheet-2.jpg\" alt=\"Cheat Sheet \" class=\"wp-image-159406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cheat-Sheet-2.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cheat-Sheet-2.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cheat-Sheet-2.jpg?resize=277,147 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cheat-Sheet-2.jpg?resize=359,190 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cheat-Sheet-2.jpg?resize=543,288 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cheat-Sheet-2.jpg?resize=560,297 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cheat-Sheet-2.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>How the cheat sheet works.

For the new motion designer, this will save you a heap of time, as you don\u2019t have to go back and forth in After Effects trying to figure out what the expression does exactly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, more importantly, if you know how these expressions work but just needed a coding refresher, the expression code is the first bit of information you&#8217;re greeted with upon clicking the expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cheat-Sheet-3.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"755\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cheat-Sheet-3.jpg\" alt=\"Cheat Sheet Code\" class=\"wp-image-159407\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cheat-Sheet-3.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cheat-Sheet-3.jpg?resize=300,159 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cheat-Sheet-3.jpg?resize=277,147 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cheat-Sheet-3.jpg?resize=359,190 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cheat-Sheet-3.jpg?resize=543,288 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cheat-Sheet-3.jpg?resize=560,297 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Cheat-Sheet-3.jpg?resize=150,79 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>Need a code refresher?
