What language to learn??
Hey everyone…:)
wasnt sure where to post this but really wanted the advice from after effects users who knew what they were doing…I want to start learning a scripting language that would be able to help me with after effects expressions and or scripting so i cud maybe one day write my own plug in’s
Ive been told that JAVA is a good language to learn cos its similar to how AE expressions are written?? but not sure if this is true..What do you guys recommend?
thanx

It’s not Java, it’s javascript. An entirely different Language.
I think javascript is definately the way to go, because you can use it in browsers, but also Flash’s actionScript is based on javascript, and After Effect’s Motionscript is based on Javascript.
If you go beyond expressions and try writing scripts that actually automate actions, Javascript is used there too, -
awesome…thanx for your reply 🙂
Goodnight and good luck
