I really love your shift in focus into more simple things, The more we know the base of simple stuff, the easier it becomes to make more advance work. Thank you for showing us the simple stuff really!

2:10 - Add new shape layer - Draw straight line. Select shape > Add Zig-Zag. 2:40 - Add Trim paths. Adjust trim paths for one cycle. Animate postition for remain centered. 4:45 - Add loopOut() expression.

I have used this very squiggly line in so many of my projects at work to speed up the workflow, thanks for this!

Whoever asked for this tutorail, thank you! xD

Love your work mate, good stuff!

OH MY GOD! I LOVE YOUR LOGO ANIMATION/ INTRO & BEAT IN THE BEGINNING! wow! inspiring!

Thank you, Evan! This tutorial helped me a lot!

this is a great tutorial, thank you for making it so quick, concise and at the same time full of useful information

Requested for this tutorial tried doing it with wave warp but @ECAbrams made it even more easier. Thank You So Much.

Thank you, I always learn something new with your tutorials.

OMG We need a 10 hours squiggle on KZfaq, I'd watch that forever.

It's very useful tutorial. I wanted a tutorial like this. Thank you so much!

I didn’t need this. but your delivery was so good, and your teaching method was so good… i watched anyway. I am getting into after effects, and I already know you’re worth subbing to. Thank you for putting this stuff out here!

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks man you're awesome :)

Wonderful! Thanks for your tuts!!

Thnaks Man , you always make things simple and creative

these ones are pretty cool. A quick tutorial with a simple effect, nice

every single video you make is so freaking helpful.

Omg, thanks for this tutorial, love u bro!

This video saved me! Thank you so much!

More short length straight forward video like this. Thanks for sharing Sir 🙏

you read my mind, thanks for giving us this

Just Loved It its amazing

Thanks! you explained it super simple!

Nice!! Thanks for all the other tutorials!!

Muito obrigado. Explicou muito bem. Tive um pouco de dificuldade mas consegui fazer.

Hey! I requested that! Good genuine smile to finish my day. :)

Super helpful thanks!

Man, you just nailed it!

Just amazing, thanks for sharing!

hey thank u for this! i actually enjoy watching this + ur narrative is rly entertaining (in a way?? like talking with a friend!) thank you!:D

Thanks for the tutorial. Can you give us the ecuation that you've made for the position?

Thank you! Very useful!

THANK YOU!!

This is great. I was stuck until you taught to trim AFTER the zigzag layer. Thank you!

Great video! I'm a total beginner to After Effects so it seemed a bit fast but I was definitely able to follow on. Thanks for sharing!

youre the man evan!!

Really cool, thanks for every single of your tutorials

awesome, thanks!

Thank you very much for this!

I really enjoyed this tutorial. It was sooo helpful!!! You got one more subscriber

Thanks, again!

Was waiting for it thanks a lot

Thanks very much!👍

Lookin real Charley Browny lol! Great Tuts!

probably best 5mins today. thx.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I've been messing around with Lottie and the one thing I have been struggling with is recreating the squiggle effect I can get with wave warp with no effects added. Thank you thank you thank you!

Nice one, Evan!

i love you. why did I discover you at 250k..... :\ Man so many usefull videos!!!! keep the innovation up!!!! You have a really awesome channel

As someone who started learning After Effects a week ago, this tutorial is perfect because it is: short and succinct, visually clean and interesting, and allows viewers like me to further explore it's possibilities. Thank you!

OMG this is gold thank you so much!!!!

I am searching this for a while

!WOW! TKS!!!

Thank you so much for this!!

Thank You! I was trying to use an effect with no luck, this is the exact feel I was hoping for.

Evan, I realize this is an old tut, but really, it is fantastic, you really have done a great job.. now, I am a fan. and a sub :)

Saw this very effect as part of a blurb on the BBC earlier this evening, they're quick off the mark ;)

Hey Evan! Awesome tutorial. I just wanted to ask you a complex question about scaling layers and retaining the feathers/effects with it. Some of my clients wish to have their production delivered in 4K. Of course I could do it with the "Detail Preserving Upscale". But still.. it is not a true upscale and most of my work is done 100% in after effects and not an outdoor video. So what I do is make a null object and parent everything to it and basically scale it up to fit the 4K canvas (using continuous raster ofc). That's cool, but I often have quite a lot of feathers with echos and glow effects and bunch of other crazy shenaningans. And when I do scale them, everything is just going mad and you are starting to have a really bad day. For some reason Echo effects are not working when scaled with a precomp using the continuous raster, glow effects for example are out of place because they do not retain their true values while scaling, so I have to manually change each and every value to fit the 4K canvas scale change. But even if I don't want to scale everything and just 1 layer - is it really possible to retain the true value.

Very important! Thank you

You are incredible man, thank you very much!

Thanks for the quick and clear tutorial!

👍🏼👍🏼 thank you!

thx you this is so useful!

thanx for video

You rock. Thank you!!!!

that is awesome, thank you so much! maybe for next can you give us tutorial about rendering ? wich codec is best for good quality but smaller in file size?

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much dude.... Helped me a lot

Great explanation!

thank u so much.

thank you a lot!

OMG love this tutorial, saved me

Thank you! You're a genius!

THANK YOU

simple and great

I would appreciate if you could explain the "math" you did so we could apply the same effect on different paths.

thank you

Great job! I used it for my work

so~ good Tutorial!!

Thank you Evan! I'm only trying to understand what kind of math did you use to get the line back in the middle?

Cool!

superrrrrr

Does somebody know if its also possible to apply these squiggling lines to a closed stroke ( so a stroke which is e.g. shaped as an ellipse)?

Great Tutorial, Appriciate that.

Hey Evan, great tutorial! I'm trying to achieve the same result, and I've followed this tutorial exactly like you've done but for some reason when i looped something goes wrong and my animation isn't fluid and idk what can be.

I think this is proof you read your comments! Thanks for this Evan!

This is cool, though there is another way to achieve the same effect using the wave warp effect. I made a single, straight stroke and made sure the anchor point was at the start of the path, then applied wave warp to the stroke. I was making several of these lines flowing out from an object so I would have to rotate them varying degrees. So I'd duplicate the stroke layer and whatever I changed the rotation of the shape layer to, I'd then match the direction setting in the wave warp effect to that number. I found this works well and you get pretty much the same result as this method, though I like that it's pretty easy to just change the speed, wave width, etc. in the wave warp panel, but without key-framing. It may not be as mathematically precise, but works. Anyway, thanks for all the helpful tutorials!

what way should i export this so I can plug it in like you do in the Basic Patterns in After Effects video? or is it not exported and just a file?

We can use the math sin no?

cool video, thanks

In the setup, appreciate the videos! Maybe a dumb question but is there a way to export content in mono in soft20?

How do you find the center for the transformation in the position?

people asked, and here it is! nice tut

Nice

im an ametuer at after effects right now and am struggleing with rendering and the right video codec to use...so i was wondering what format and video codec was used for this because my video is sorta the same style just a bigger file

Looks like for the hero squiggly here, you use a yellow fill and a black stroke so it doesn't interfere with the lil white ones - correct?

thank so much pro

YOU ARE A GOD... NO QUESTION ABOUT IT
