    Hello again all,

    I am trying to add a wiggle rotation preset to a timeline and confine it between two keyframes but, it wants to wiggle all the friggin doo dah day! Waht am I doing wrong?

    I think you’d be best tying either Amplitude or Frequency of the wiggle to a slider, then keyframing the slider. Zero as a keyframes kills the wiggle dead, a positive value down the line builds to the wiggle gradually. Hold keyframes make it jump instantly to full wiggle.

    In case you don’t know how:

    wiggle (5,20)

    highlight (select) the 5, then pickwhip to a slider stopwatch(Effect>Expression Controls>Slider Control) and you have an expression like this:

    wiggle (effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”),20)

    Setting keyframes with the slider now puts you in complete control.

    You can always split the layer at your keyframes… Other than that do waht yikesmikes has said (which, btw. you could have found out on your own by searching the COW).

    Thanks guys,

    yikesmikes the advice was spot on, great solution. I had done a quick search but, didn’t find what I was looking for fast enough. I really appreciate the help.
