expressions advice: multiple layers wiggling position separately random but adjustable by one “controller” layer
Hello, I have a comp that has a lot of layers that I want to wiggle in x and z position. I want them all move to a different position each frame but not as a group. I also want to be able to adjust approximately how much they move from one control laye
what I have tried is using the seperate xyz preset and putting the wiggle expression on and for amplitude, pickwhipping a slider effect on a null layer. but this seemed to make them all move the same as if they were parented.
how would i go about doing this
I am not very good with expressions, but am trying to hack together something that works and would really appreciate any help

I’m not an expressions guru, but until one chimes in, you should be able to use the layer’s index as a random seed for the wiggle. (Although, I thought it would do that anyway. Are you sure you don’t have all your layers parented to one of them?)
