Linear wipe + wiggle
Hello everyone!
I’m stuck with what I think is a newbie problem and I would appreciate any input on the issue.
The thing is that I have a keyframed animated linear wipe on several rectangles that works as a “curtain” that reveals the video underneath when they open from the center. I have keyframed the In & Out animations but I would like to add a wiggle effect to work on the linear wipe only while “the curtains” are open.
Is there a way to apply a wiggle to a linear wipe that is already keyframed? All info I could find is related to keyframe the wiggle effect (with the slider control)
Thanks!

Indeed it is possible to apply a Wriggle to a linear wipe that already is within the keyframes. This is what I found after doing some research! Follow these steps in order to do this:
- Apply the “Wiggle” effect to the layer that contains the linear wipe.
- In the “Wiggle” effect’s properties, you can adjust the “Amplitude” and “Frequency” parameters to your desired level of wiggle.
- Adjust the “Phase” parameter to determine at what point in the animation the wiggle should start. This will determine the timing of the wiggle.
- You can also adjust the “Random Seed” parameter to control which parts of the animation the wiggle effect will affect.
- Preview the animation to see how the wiggle is affecting the linear wipe.
- Adjust the parameters as needed to get the desired effect.
I really hope this helps, any questions, feel free to ask to see if you need further help!

Thank you so much for your response. I got it working flawlessly with a slider control for amplitude, for better animation control.
My mistake was trying to use the self-referencing linear wipe expression with some math and the wiggle expression instead of just REPLACING the expression with the wiggle…ockham’s blade at its finest.
Cheers and thanks again!
