  • Expressions failed to work when using position keyframes

    Hi all!

    I have a problem when using expressions in After Effects. I made a scene for a motion graphic which includes a crane in a precomp. I used a few wiggle expressions on this crane and it all works when playing the scene in my precomp. But when i want to move the crane from left to right when using position keyframes, the expressions don’t work anymore. When the crane is in it’s still position they start working again. Does anybody know how to solve this? Thanks!

    i would attach want you want to wiggle, to a seperate null..make it 3d if needed. and then do your wiggle on the null…I like to create 2 sliders and attack my values of wiggle to the sliders so i can add wiggle and take it away at any time.
