  keyframing “wiggle”… possible?

  Posted by Mike Derk on December 13, 2007 at 5:47 am

  Hey,

  I’m getting the general impression that one either uses keyframes or one uses expressions to and an effect to a layer property.

  I’m using wiggle to get some random motion, and I want it to be adjustable: more here, less here, more again. But leafing through the manual seems to indicate that you have to set wiggle up and then let it go.

  Is there a way to make it adjustable?

  Am I going to have to learn to use variables, as it “var AmountToWiggle=…”?

  Here’s the thing: I know that when the object has a high Y-coordinate, I want no wiggle, but a low Y-coordinate means wiggle, so I actually have something to “link” it to.

  Mike

  Here is a walk through on using a slider to control wiggle:

  Forgive the typos in the earlier post, please.

  Thanks. Now I’m going to try to use Dan’s marker expression and do a lot of work to accomplish something I could do more easily, haha.
