okay, let's dive into creating a bouncing text animation in after effects without using expressions. while expressions are often the go-to for this kind of effect because they allow for more dynamic and automated control, it's absolutely possible (and sometimes even preferable for fine-tuned manual adjustments) to achieve a great bounce effect using keyframes alone.
*why no expressions?*
before we start, let's touch on why you might choose to avoid expressions in certain situations:
*simplicity:* for beginners, or for simpler projects, avoiding code can make the animation process more accessible and less intimidating.
*precise control:* keyframing gives you direct control over every aspect of the animation. you can tweak timings and values with meticulous precision, which is especially useful when you need the animation to sync perfectly with other elements or audio.
*fewer dependencies:* expressions can sometimes break when after effects updates or if a project is opened on a different system with missing plugins. keyframes are more stable in this regard.
*core concepts: the physics of a bounce*
to create a realistic bounce, you need to understand the basic principles involved:
*gravity:* pulls the object (in our case, a letter or word) down towards the ground.
*impact:* when the object hits the ground, it compresses and then rebounds.
*energy loss:* with each bounce, some energy is lost, causing the bounce height to decrease.
*timing:* bounces should happen quickly, especially near the impact point. the time between bounces should gradually increase as the object settles.
*let's get started: the step-by-step tutorial*
1. *create a new composition:*
open after effects.
go to `composition new composition` (or press `ctrl/cmd + n`).
set the following parameters (adjust as needed for your project):
`composition name`: "bouncing text" (or whatever you prefer)
