Apply Wiggle Expression to Glow Effect
Please excuse my ignorance of the basics of expressions.
I want to add a wiggle expression to the Intensity parameter of the Glow Effect applied to a shape layer.
My expression line looks like this:
effect(“Glow”)(4) wiggle(freq, amp, octaves = 1, amp_mult = .5, t = time)
When I hit return I get the error message:
After Effects warning: Expected: ;
Expression disabled.Error occured at line 1.
Comp: ‘Comp 1′
Layer: 1 (Shape Layer 1’)
Property: ‘Glow Intensity’What am i leaving out?
Thanks.
p.s. is there any way to add image files or screen grabs to these posts?

Hey, there!
When you are applying the wiggle() expression to something, all you need is wiggle(freq, amp).
That is the basic wiggle() where freq is something like 3 and amp is something like 10 for your glow intensity. The wiggle knows the parameter to which it is being applied so you don’t need the effect reference.
So the only think in your expression field would be: wiggle(3, 10)
That should get you going.

Brilliant. Thanks.

You must type a semicolon ” ; ” after the end of any expressions.
That error said you about it.
