  • Applying ‘Wiggle’ on a small segment?

    Posted by Andy Joseph on September 24, 2010 at 6:48 am

    Hi Guys,

    I’m a novice at AE & need to apply a ‘wiggle expression’ to a Camera linked to Null. My comp’s total duration is 15sec long but i wanna apply it just for 3 Seconds somewhere in between. Now my question is:

    – How to apply this expression.?
    – On which layer (null or camera)?

    I would really be thankful if you can explain me with example.

    Regards
    Andy

    Apply a slider Expression Control effect to your null. Tie one of your wiggle expression parameters to the slider’s value. Keyframe the slider’s value from 0 to whatever works for you.

    Hi there Andy.

    Since I can remember there´s a section on AE help that countains expression exemples and one of them seem to be exactly what you need.

    Hope it adds to what Michael posted.

    or use

    if (time > 5 && time < 8) //wiggles btw 5-8 secs
    {
    wiggle (5,15)
    }
    else
    {
    transform.position
    }
