Add effects to layers

You can make any combination of a layer's properties change over time, using conventional keyframing, expressions,
or even keyframe assistants. With the Graph Editor, you can add, delete, and modify keyframes, and specify inter-
polation methods. With the powerful expression feature, you can animate and link properties using preset or
customized scripts instead of keyframes. You can apply any of the hundreds of preset animations included with After
Effects, or create and reuse your own. Use the Tracker Controls panel to stabilize motion or to animate one layer so
that it follows the motion in another layer. For more information, see "About animation and layer properties" on
page 188, "About animation presets" on page 202, "About motion tracking (Pro only)" on page 329, and "About
expressions" on page 555.
