In this After Effects motion graphic tutorial we are going to be taking a look at how to use a few simple expressions along with the Radio Waves effect in After Effects to create some cool abstract visuals!

Adobe After Effects 2019 (AE 2019) is a digital visual effects, motion graphics, and compositing application developed by Adobe Systems and used in the post-production process of filmmaking and television production. Among other things, After Effects can be used for keying, tracking, compositing, and animation. It also functions as a very basic non-linear editor, audio editor, and media transcoder.
CINEMA 4D R20 is a 3D modeling, animation, motion graphic and rendering application developed by MAXON Computer GmbH in Germany. It is capable of procedural and polygonal/subd modeling, animating, lighting, texturing, rendering, and common features found in 3D modeling applications.

Yeah I know, I'm scrolling through the comment to find the expression too.
Here you go:
x = effect("Radius")("Slider") * Math.cos(effect("Angle Control")("Angle")*Math.PI/180);
y = effect("Radius")("Slider") * Math.sin(effect("Angle Control")("Angle")*Math.PI/180);
[x,y] + [1000,1000]

[@JoseARZ-]

you're the man my dude

[@timo7209]

Thank you very much for this video, feels so good to play around with just a few settings and create a totally different look :)

[@iandoesdesign4827]

Awesome video as always thanks for sharing!

[@ChrrZ]

wow, stunning!

[@EnriqShockwave]

Great tutorial, thank you!

[@fortunated_5764]

Thanks for this! Great stuff!

[@Hyperdriveuk]

10:58 "I'm just messing it up" No... that looked amazing lol!

[@samkhpak]

Great video, thanks!

[@HowToAnimateTutorial]

Your work never stops to amaze.
Very very cool!!!
Thank you so much bro!
Keep it up!

[@moboxgraphics]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@anixcool]

So cool!! Thanks 🤩🤩🤩👍👍😃😃

[@swiftpiruleta]

for those getting errors make sure if you rename your effects, that you spell them correctly and make them case sensitive in the expression

Getting an undefined value used in expression, any idea why ?

[@MrRecuerda]

i do the exact same process but it's just not working for me, i literally have no idea why is not working. It just changes the producer points position.

[@ashkaleido130]

For anyone trying to recreate the last one you have to change the frequency and expansion in "Wave Motion" he forgot to show it.

[@sarahhealy369]

Great tutorial, is there a way to get the radio waves to be dashed lines using expressions? Thanks to anyone that can help : )

[@ahmadfarhan4628]

Hi, i am using cc 2017 when i use * Math it doesn't appear anything. Any suggestions?

[@pleasesubscribedad]

What are the settings on the green example in the opening? I love your channel BTW

[@moboxgraphics]

Thanks! At the end (around 17min) I show them, but you'll need to pause the video. One thing that it doesn't show though is that you'll need to pull the rotation keyframe a good bit out. Just mess with it and you'll start to see it come to shape.

[@pleasesubscribedad]

MOBOX Graphics oh thank you and sorry I got impatient while watching the steps for the main animation. The green spiral reminded me a lot of Day of the Tentacle or the Nuclear Throne menu does I’m excited to try to emulate that

[@moboxgraphics]

@@pleasesubscribedad No worries. Only about 3% of the people ever make it to the end anyways lol

[@engr1john]

How to make the waves slower?

[@hakim5691]

Song name in the background ?

[@sabinehildebrandt5883]

Great instructions ... just can not get it to work.
I keep getting ... Error in line 1 in propperty'Producer Point' of layer 1 ('wave'). SyntaxError. Unexpected token) an expression was disabled as a result of an error.
I did update the Legacy Expressions.
Any idea? Thank you!

[@sublimedesign6052]

Im 2 years late but I had this problem and for me it was as simple as making sure the expression was exactly the same as how he did it. I selected "continue" from the drop down menu and that made it work for me. I don't know if thats what fixed it but I had to type it in a few times before it worked lol

[@guuhfx]

Hi!

[@moboxgraphics]

Hi :D

[@divvayfx2906]

Great tutorial mine says maths is not defined

[@ashkaleido130]

what part of the expression are you not doing correctly?

[@workmailart8285]

Make sure you have Math, not math and the letters should be blue.

[@divvayfx2906]

@@workmailart8285 Thanks man it worked

[@divvayfx2906]

@@ashkaleido130 Thank you anyway

[@ADAM-kd6no]

can you copy and past expression in comments?:) pleaseeee

[@Arxitec]

When you copy the X = formula to Y line, are you making sure to swap cos() with sin() ?

[@JoseARZ-]

x = effect("Radius")("Slider") * Math.cos(effect("Angle Control")("Angle")*Math.PI/180);
y = effect("Radius")("Slider") * Math.sin(effect("Angle Control")("Angle")*Math.PI/180);
[x,y] + [1000,1000]
