How to make randomized animation loops
How could I take a short animation, (12 frames) and have after effects randomly play through them so that it never loops the same twice? Looking to get a drawn traceback effect on text without there being an obvious repeating loop. Thanks!

this is slightly modified from dan ebbert’s motionscript.com site:
segDur = thisComp.frameDuration;
minVal = inPoint;
maxVal = key(2) – segDur;seed = Math.floor(time/segDur);
seedRandom(seed,true);
random(minVal,maxVal);select your footage, choose layer>time>enable time remapping, enable expressions for the time remapping parameter (animation>add expression), then paste that expression into the expression field.
i think that will do what you are looking for…
