Animating wiggle effect problem
So, I’ve got a Null (Wiggle Null) controlling a whole scene. I’d like animate the wiggle so that it gradually gets more intense.
I’ve currently got the wiggle set up with 2 sliders controlling frequency and amount. This is how it looks:
wiggle(effect("Speed")("Slider"),effect("Amount")("Slider"))However, when I animate the keyframes, the time between keyframes is filled with a really jolty motion until it reaches the end keyframe!
I thought maybe it was because the numbers on the slider were not whole numbers, so I used this on each slider:
Math.round(effect("Speed")("Slider"))But to no avail!
Can anyone help? What am I doing wrong?

Hey Dan, this is great. And defo working, I’ve just got a slight hiccup.
This is what I’m working with:
freq = thisComp.layer("WIGGLE").effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
amp = 30;
n = freq.numKeys;
orig_xPos = transform.position[0];
orig_yPos = transform.position[1];
ground = effect("Ground")("Slider");
if (n > 0 && freq.key(1).time < time){
accum = freq.key(1).value*(freq.key(1).time - inPoint);
for (i = 2; i <= n; i++){
if (freq.key(i).time > time) break;
k1 = freq.key(i-1);
k2 = freq.key(i);
accum += (k1.value + k2.value)*(k2.time - k1.time)/2;
}
accum += (freq.value + freq.key(i-1).value)*(time - freq.key(i-1).time)/2;
if (orig_yPos < ground) {
[orig_xPos, orig_yPos];
} else if (orig_yPos > ground) {
[orig_xPos, ground];
}else{
accum = freq.value*(time - inPoint);
}
wiggle(1,amp,1,.5,accum)
}
I can’t get things to work with the ground plane I’ve added. It throws the rest of the keyframes off.
The “ground” slider is for a shadow rig that I put together that basically stops the main layer clipping with the shadow.
Any idea’s? Again, I’m pretty crap at this so any help is seriously appreciated.
