After Effects Extensions offer the ability to extend After Effects functionality through modern web development technologies like HTML5, and Node.js, without the need for C. 56 After Effects Extensions make use of Adobe’s Common Extensibility Platform or CEP Panels, which means they can be built to interact with other Adobe CC apps.

An expression is a sequence of operators and their operands, that specifies a computation.

Expression evaluation may produce a result (e.g., evaluation of 2+2 produces the result 4) and may generate side-effects (e.g. evaluation of std::printf('%d',4) prints the character '4' on the standard output).

[edit]General

• value categories (lvalue, rvalue, glvalue, prvalue, xvalue) classify expressions by their values
• order of evaluation of arguments and subexpressions specify the order in which intermediate results are obtained

[edit]Operators

• operator precedence defines the order in which operators are bound to their arguments
• alternative representations are alternative spellings for some operators
• operator overloading makes it possible to specify the behavior of the operators with user-defined classes.

[edit]Conversions

• standard conversions implicit conversions from one type to another
• explicit cast conversion using C-style cast notation and functional notation
• user-defined conversion makes it possible to specify conversion from user-defined classes

[edit]Memory allocation

• new expression allocates memory dynamically
• delete expression deallocates memory dynamically

[edit]Other

• constant expressions can be evaluated at compile time and used in compile-time context (template arguments, array sizes, etc)

[edit]Primary expressions

The operands of any operator may be other expressions or primary expressions (e.g. in 1+2*3, the operands of operator+ are the subexpression 2*3 and the primary expression 1).

Primary expressions are any of the following:

• Literals (e.g. 2 or 'Hello, world')
• Id-expressions, including
  • suitably declared unqualified identifiers (e.g. n or cout), and
  • suitably declared qualified identifiers (e.g. std::string::npos)
• Lambda-expressions(C++11)
• Fold-expressions(C++17)
• Requires-expressions(C++20)

Any expression in parentheses is also classified as a primary expression: this guarantees that the parentheses have higher precedence than any operator. Parentheses preserve value, type, and value category.

[edit]Literals

Literals are the tokens of a C++ program that represent constant values embedded in the source code.

• integer literals are decimal, octal, hexadecimal or binary numbers of integer type.
• character literals are individual characters of type

• char or wchar_t
• char16_t or char32_t(since C++11)
• char8_t(since C++20)

• floating-point literals are values of type float, double, or longdouble
• string literals are sequences of characters of type

• constchar[] or constwchar_t[]
• constchar16_t[] or constchar32_t[](since C++11)
• const char8_t[](since C++20)

• boolean literals are values of type bool, that is true and false
• nullptr is the pointer literal which specifies a null pointer value (since C++11)
• user-defined literals are constant values of user-specified type (since C++11)

[edit]Unevaluated expressions

The operands of the operators typeid, sizeof, noexcept, and decltype(since C++11) are expressions that are not evaluated (unless they are polymorphic glvalues and are the operands of typeid), since these operators only query the compile-time properties of their operands. Thus, std::size_t n = sizeof(std::cout<<42); does not perform console output.

[edit]Discarded-value expressions

A discarded-value expression is an expression that is used for its side-effects only. The value calculated from such expression is discarded. Such expressions include the full expression of any expression statement, the left-hand operand of the built-in comma operator, or the operand of a cast-expression that casts to the type void.

Array-to-pointer and function-to-pointer conversions are never applied to the value calculated by a discarded-value expression. The lvalue-to-rvalue conversion is applied if and only if the expression is a volatile-qualified glvalue and has one of the following forms (built-in meaning required, possibly parenthesized)

• id-expression
• array subscript expression
• class member access expression
• indirection
• pointer-to-member operation
• conditional expression where both the second and the third operands are one of these expressions,
• comma expression where the right operand is one of these expressions.

In addition, if the lvalue is of volatile-qualified class type, a volatile copy-constructor is required to initialize the resulting rvalue temporary.

There are a handful of ways to make an animation repeat itself infinitely within Adobe After Effects, but arguably the simplest and most universally effective of them is the Loop Expression. Let’s take a look at how to apply it.

Step 1: The Expression

The LoopExpression has a simple structure, with two variations: Cycle and PingPong.

Cycle (Default):

LoopOut(“Cycle”);

This expression will create a standard infinite loop from the start to end of an animation, as indicated by “Cycle.” The red ghost keyframes are shown to indicate what this animation would look like done manually.

Cycle Modeis the default Loop mode, so you can actually achieve the same effect with:

LoopOut();

PingPong:

LoopOut(“PingPong”);

The PingPong variation of the Loop expression will create an infinite loop, only instead of cycling the animation over and over, it will animate forward, then in reverse, then forward again, and so on.

Step 2: Application

Applying to a Property:

The LoopExpression is applied to the expression feature of a layer’s property. For instance, if you wanted a layer to grow and shrink infinitely, you would keyframe a layer’s scale property appropriately, then apply the LoopExpression to it by alt-clickingthe keyframe button.

Applying to Entire Layer:

If you would like to loop a layer in its entirety, even imported footage, you can do so by applying the LoopExpression of your choosing to the Time Remapping feature of the layer. Simply right-click the desired layer, select EnableTimeRemapping, then apply the loop expression to the layer.

If this generates a blank frame at the loop point of your layer (a common problem), you can fix it fairly easily; Create a new keyframe at the last frame of your layer, one frame prior to the keyframe that Time Remapping created. Copy your new keyframe and paste it over the keyframe that TimeRemapping created, so that there are two of the same keyframe ending the layer’s Time Remapping.

If you want to make the LoopExpression even more convenient, you can try The LoopMaker, a free script by Lloyd Alvarez that allows you to apply custom loops to multiple layers simultaneously with just a few clicks.

Say goodbye to copying and pasting keyframes, and say hello to the time you’ll save with the Loop Expression!
