How to loop wiggle paths
Hey,
I’ve seen posts about looping the wiggle expression, but those solutions aren’t quite working for me. I have a shape layer containing a stroke that I am using “wiggle paths” to animate. How can I get the wiggle to loop? I’ve found a way around this before by time remapping the layer or animating the wiggle down to zero at the top and bottom, but those methods aren’t seamless. Has anyone figured out a better way to do this?
Thanks,

i don’t think you’ll be able to do it with wiggle paths
roughen edges can give a similar effect and it has an option to ‘loop cycles’ in the evolution options.

I have a 5 sec loop animation where I have applied wiggle expression on camera’s position. Now I want the position of camera to be same at 0 and 5 sec.
Although I somehow managed to get the result I want with slider control(cheating the wiggle amplitude). I animated the slider value at very last and very first four to five frames making it seamless

Nice, Ranveer!
You could also achieve a looped wiggle by applying this expression to your camera’s position property.
freq = 1;
amp = 110;
loopTime = 3;
t = time % loopTime;
wiggle1 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t);
wiggle2 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t - loopTime);
linear(t, 0, loopTime, wiggle1, wiggle2)It unfortunately doesn’t work on a shape layer’s path property, but for basically everything else it’s great.
