*I suggest you make another video called: combining degrees and time to animate complex curves* This is a much more meaningful way to explain the BEAUTIFUL math you are integrating into After Effects. Let me explain exactly why this is a better approach, and a better topic to focus on in these tutorials. For the piece of code "angle = i ÷ 360 × time × 360" it is not clear what you are trying to achieve. In order to understand your code I had to dissect this statement. According to the order of operations the code would execute like this: angle = ((i ÷ 360) × time) x 360 since priority of multiplication and division is determined from left to right. Step 1: i ÷ 360 this operation basically converts degrees to rotations. we now pass a number of the unit "rotation" to step 2. Step 2: rotations x time this gives us the number of rotations multiplied by time. Step 3: (time × rotations) × 360 we multiply by 360 again to return to degrees. *We now have degrees x time* This final operation step 3 undoes what we did in step 1. *This confirms that we are in fact starting with a base 360 unit (degrees) converting to a base 10 unit (rotations) for the purpose of being able to multiply it by time,* which in After Effects is in base 10. So we actually end up with: currentAngle = ((baseAngle ÷ 360) × time) × 360 currentAngle = time × degrees the variable name currentAngle accounts for the fact that this variable is in the units degrees*time. Meaning it changes linearly as time changes in the animation. You can think of it like this: this equation is adding one baseAngle per unit of time. At time 1, we are at one baseAngle. At time 5, we reach five baseAngle's. In order for this video to make any sense, that equation is ESSENTIAL, but you just glossed over it. It is the fundamental variable which makes parametric and polar equations work. I would like to hear your valuable insight on the more fundamental nature of this After Effects concept, not just how to type it in to the expression section.
you are right but it wasn't about simplifying that line of code to currentAngle = time × degrees . which i think it is obvious to anyone. the reason why i set it like this angle = ((i ÷ n) × time) x p is that you can control n and p which i set it by default to 360 ( just a value ) but actually can be any values ≠ 0 that you can input or link to sliders controls to animate the 3 variables (i,n,p) at same time instead of just one value, to get sort of abstract animations it may be useful in some situations . converting to radians was made in another line. if you watched the whole tutorial you would notice that in the second method using shape layer the angle Theta was simplified . and in the tutorial is exactly what's been called. Welcome to the Community Jacob Hunwick and Thank you for you feedback i appreciate it .
Very cool. Seen the Write-on effect many times, but never considered how to use it. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
OMG, this is nuts! 🤯🤯🤯
Amazing video ever ☺️🌷
thank you for your videos I'm learning a lot
GOLD. Thanks
Glad to help
where and how do yo learn this scripting inside after effects ?
ماشاء الله درس رائع واصل 👏👏
مرحبا بك . و شكرا لكم على الدعم
@@NobleKreative على الرحب والسعة تستاهل ☺🤗
confusing ofc, but one thing i was curious is.. how and where do you learn all those script to make that?
how do you type theta in after effects on mac?
How did you type the theta symbol?
Sir make tut weekly one plz
يعطيك العافية... نحنا بسوريا محظوريين كيف فيني احصل ع المشروع .
ممكن مشروع للتمثيل البياني xy ❤❤❤
An error already occurs from ``i=effect("Angle")("Angle")''.
Sorry for the possible noob-question here, but how do you insert the theta-symbol?
I searched for it on google, copy paste
Спасибо! Класс!
please put the equations in the description or comments.

Ah I see now. Thank you for the explanation. I really enjoy your work. Your style is very technical, complex, and visually simple. Great videos
@@jacobhunwick1588 Glad to hear that and You are Welcome
so.. what did you say?
