  Random opacity dissolve

  Posted by Jason Coursey on September 27, 2007 at 4:46 pm

  Hi Cow.

  I have searched the archive for an expression to randomly animate opacity on a layer, but haven’t found what I am looking for.

  I just need an expression that animates randomly, the opacity of a layer – fading in and out over approximately 2 seconds. A nice, subtle random fade/dissolve.

  I know this may be very simple, however, I am horrible with expressions. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Jason

  Have you tried wiggle? I’d set the opacity to 50% and then use something like this:

  wiggle(0.5, 50)
