  Creating blinking eyes using expressions

  Posted by Allard Rothengatter on October 25, 2012 at 8:33 am

  Hi Guys,

  First of all, as this is my first post, let me just say that this community is a great resource for After Effects!

  That being said, here’s my question:

  I’d like to create random eye blinking using an expression that scales the Y scale down to 0 and back up again over a given period of time with random intervals.

  I’ve seen several posts doing this with just opacity, but I’d like to do it with scaling.

  I can’t seem to figure out how to do this…

  Any help would be much appreciated.

  Thanks,
  Allard

  Hi Allard,

  I asked a very similar question about a year ago and Dan Ebberts helped me a great deal:
