  • [How?] Camera to follow object with a wiggle expression

    Posted by Kieran Brennan on May 12, 2013 at 1:44 pm

    Hi guys, new to the forum here 🙂
    allow me to get straight to the point, its driving me crazy!

    Basically all I would like to do is:
    Camera > Follow > Partical Emitter + Wiggle

    (I’ve got it to follow, just need to implement a wiggle somehow)

    Cant put it any simpler than that 🙂

    Thanks in advance <3
    ——————–
    This expression just follows the emitter

    #Implement a wiggle expression into here?

    temp = thisComp.layer("Lighter").effect("Particular")("Position XY");
    [temp[0], temp[1]]

    I would think you could just change the last line to something like this (haven’t tried it though):

    [temp[0], temp[1]] + (wiggle(1,25)-value)

    [temp[0], temp[1]] + (wiggle(1,25)-value)
