    Hi guys

    I have made a butterfly fly, making the wings move with a wiggle effects.

    It looks natural, and nice. However, I would like to animate the butterfly, so it’s still, and then flies. If I could use a procentage, or something, this would be nice.

    I tried with expression slider, but I can’t seem to get it to work…

    Hi Kenneth,

    You sound like you’re almost there.

    Attach your wiggle amount to an expression slider and keyframe that slider down to zero to stop the butterfly moving. So your expression looks something like this:

    wiggle(1,effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”))

    Cheers,
    Ben
