can you keyframe an expression on and off?
i am making a bunch of layers move around and i’m wondering if its possible to keyframe an expression on and off cause i’d like to have some stillness for a second then just let all 57 layers of individual wiggle randomness rip.
thanks

Here’s two ways to do this…if I understand what you’re asking.
1. Make all your layers, move your playhead and ctrl+shift+d or cmd+shift+d, this splits the layers, apply the expression to the new layers.
2. Tie the expression’s randomness or amount to a slider effect on a null layer. Then keyframe that slider from 0 to whatever.
