Step Repetition: Transforming Properties
A course by Desmond Du , Motion Designer
About the video: Step Repetition: Transforming Properties
Overview
“Also known as “step and repeat”, this is a technique that takes a layer and creates duplicates with selected properties (eg. position) offset from one layer at a set increment value. Using this technique, you will learn how to create a geometry tunnel using shape layers and a few lines of code.”
In this video lesson Desmond Du addresses the topic: Step Repetition: Transforming Properties, which is part of the Domestika online course: Advanced After Effects: Coding for Motion Design. Take your motion design skills to the next level by learning to code expressions with JavaScript to create complex animation rigs with style.

“Step Repetition: Transforming Properties In this lesson, we'll cover step repetition. This is sometimes known as step and repeat where we take a layer, duplicate it many times, and stack it on any axis, be it horizontal, vertical, or Z-axis at a set increment. This is part of the many exercises that will lead up to the final project. Using this technique, we'll create a tunnel using shape layers and a few lines of code. Let's get into After Effects. To begin with, let's create a new composition by hitting the hotkey Cmd + N. I’m naming this step repetition or stepRep. I can set it to 1080 x...”
