  • Epression for fluctuating bars (increase and decrease several times)

    Hi there,

    I hope somebody can help me, because I’m a newby…
    I made a rectangle (bar) which has to increase and decrease several times, during 15 seconds.
    Must look like it’s fluctuating. I can do that by use keyframes, but because there are 15 bars fluctuating at the same time it’s a lot of work (intention is to create a chart with fluctuating bars).
    Does somebody know if there is an expression which I can use?

    This is an example of a scale expression you might use to fluctuate the height of a bar:

    freq = .25;
    amp = height/2;
    w = wiggle(freq,amp);
    [value[0],w[1]]
