Adobe After Effects Shape Layer Clock - Pt 3 Animating the Hands
- 8 years ago
In this short series of 3 tutorials I’ll show you how to create a simple animatable clock using shape layers in Adobe After Effects.
In this final part I show how to add the hands and then control them with expressions such that 1 complete rotation of the minute hand will move the hour hand the correct amount for normal clock operation. Finally, I show how to add an expression controller to the layer so that animation of the clock is easy without needing to delve down into the layer to find the appropriate control.
