  The wiggle expression…

  Posted by Robert Storm on May 9, 2008 at 12:11 am

  Does it randomize the wiggling once, or every time AE is started, or what?
  Because I’ve got one particle system, and I want a wave type thing to come over, and it’ll replace all the particles with different ones. I want the new particles to be in the same place as the old ones, because they’re supposed to be the same particle, just with a changed appearance. So…they wont line up right if the wiggle expression wiggles the camera randomly for each separate render..

  Thanks guys,
  Robert Storm

  The only thing that I’m aware of that changes the output of the wiggle() expression, other than the frequency and amplitude you supply it, is the index number of the layer it’s applied to.

  Make sure your camera is always the same layer number and it should always wiggle in the same way.
