Auto-Resize Shapes in After Effects Tutorial

🎥 This After Effects tutorial demonstrates how to auto resize shapes for easier animation.

💡 Using one slider control, you can animate the size of two shapes, with one getting bigger while the other gets smaller.

✏️ To link the size properties to the slider, an expression is added to the first size property.

🔑 Establish a variable and link the size property to a slider control.

📏 The slider controls the size of the shape, and the expression is copied to other size properties.

🔄 Adjusting the anchor points is necessary after making the size properties behave as desired.

📐 Using an expression, the anchor point of two shapes can be pinned to the top and bottom centers.

🔄 Switching the positions of the shapes allows them to be placed in a box.

📏 One slider can control the size of both shapes.

🔑 Use the scale property instead of the size property to maintain stroke width.

🧩 Add expressions to the scale property of the layer to adjust the size of objects.

📏 Fit the size of one object to the height of another one using the rectangle and ellipse tools.

🔑 Using the scale property and expressions in After Effects, shapes can automatically resize based on another shape's height.

✨ By duplicating shapes, changing their fill color, and adjusting the scale value, dynamic effects can be achieved.
