swing tutorial
– learn how to make complexe animations (intro animation) based on one singel null object
– learn how to connect different layers and settings to each other
– learn how to drive the whole animations with just one layer
– learn how to offset animations in time with the help of expressions:
****copy and paste the following expressions into your AE-project and adjust the bold text****
thisComp.layer(“FillInYourLayernameHere“).transform.xRotation.
valueAtTime(time-FramenumberYouWantToOffset*thisComp.frameDuration)
****
example:
thisComp.layer(“Null1“).transform.xRotation.
valueAtTime(time-10*thisComp.frameDuration)
this tutoial shows you how to get two (or more) (text) layers swinging in an organic way, and how to conect them so that it looks as if they are interacting.

That was awesome! I learned a lot. I’ll definitely be checking out the rest of your tutorials!
Thank you John!!
Hi, nice Tutorial.
For a realistic swing you could use an expression for die X-Rotation, e.g. an decaying cosinus function like this:
(Math.exp((-time))*((Math.cos((Math.PI)*time))*100));
Thanks for the tip, I will definitely try it out!! An other cool tip would be iExpressions (http://aescripts.com/iexpressions/) It is a plug in which makes expressions easy to use for everybody…
All right, i’ll try this…it’s a bit easier than programming the expressions by myself. Thanks for the tip.
