Easy walk cycle animation | After Effects Tutorial

Hey guys!
In this After Effects tutorial I’ll show you how to animate an easy walk cycle without using any plug-ins.
We start with designing the character using basic shape layers, which we then animate with a little help from a loop expression.
We add secondary motion, to make the moves more interesting
and finally animate the foots and add the legs with a bit of frame-by-frame animation.
That's just the start point for your creativity. I encourage you to add an environment to the scene and some kind of story...

Thanks, great tutorial. Is there an expression for path like loopOut("cycle") for position or rotation

[@ManueldoesMotion]

You're welcome! It isn't as easy I think... Maybe this helps: aejuice.com/blog/loop-path-after-effects/
