Stands out in the aescripts library as a dedicated expressions resource for After Effects, offered in both hardcover and eBook editions.
The Power of Expression Book is a learning resource for Adobe After Effects, written by François Lefebvre. It takes an easy, global approach to learning everything you need to know about using expressions in After Effects.
The material comes in two forms: a hardcover book or a downloadable eBook. There is also an option to order the eBook only. Ordering options, including the eBook-only edition, are listed on the developer's page.
The content applies to a wide range of After Effects releases, from CC and CC 2014 through the 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 versions, along with the CC 2015, 2015.3, 2017, 2018, and 2019 releases. A demo video is available, and in this catalog the book is listed as free.

The Power of Expression Book lists compatibility with After Effects 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020, as well as CC 2019, CC 2018, CC 2017, CC 2015.3, CC 2015, CC 2014, and CC. That range means the material applies whether you are on a current 2025 install or an older CC release.
