Reduce expressions to values in After Effects


I'm using an explainer template (Pixity Land) to create some short animations with After Effects, and use a tool like Bodymovin/lottie to render HTML5 Canvas/SVG animations.

Unfortunately Bodymovin has an issue with the expressions used in Pixity Land, and the rendered animations jump around jitter. I don't have a lot of experience with After Effects and I'd rather not have to re-write the expressions.

I'm wondering if there's a way that I can reduce the expressions to values. Any suggestions?


Solution

  • There is an option to convert expressions to keyframes. (I'm not sure why I was expecting it to be more complicated)

    One right clicks on the property that has the expression and selects Keyframe Assistant > Convert Expression to Keyframes (or picks the option from the Animation menu).
