bobbing clouds
i apologize if this has been asked lots before and i didnt manage to find it in my searches…
I have a comp where i have titles appearing on clouds, i would LOVE to be able to have an expression to set the vertical position of them to displace in a nice smooth motion.curently im doing it with keyframes but id love to know if there is a simpler way of doing it with an expression.
I gotta learn expressions sometime and figured this would be a good way to get my head round them 🙂

Hi Craig,
If you just want random bobbing motion you should use a wiggle expression. It’s the easiest expression there is and a good place to start learning. You just alt+click the stopwatch for the property you want to animate (position) and type into the box:
wiggle(5,10)This will make the layer move by 10 pixels 5 times a second.
If you would like to move the clouds only in the vertical, you’ll need to use a very slightly more complicated expression. But I explain how to do that in this video tutorial:
