  • Is it possible to have a wiggle that creates hold keyframes?

    Hi there,

    Say you apply a wiggle (2,10) its gonna move 2 times a second and 10 magnitude…..but inbetween those 2 keyframes it tweens or whatever its called, moves around. is it possible so that the motion is more jerky, so it actually only moves twice a second as though it were 2 hold keyframes….does that make sense?

    cheers

    You could convert the expression to keyframes, then select them all and convert to holds, or maybe precomp the layer then apply Posterize Time …?

    the problem with converting to keyframes is that it converts all the inbetween keyframes, so there arent just 2 keyframes per second if u know what i mean?

    cheers

    So maybe post in the Expressions COW — there may be a way of holding the results of the expression.

    will precomping the wiggle layer and then applying posterize time as steve mentioned not work for you…?

    it’s probably the easiest way. you’ll just set the posterize time effect to the desired framerate (in your case, 2 fps) and you will get exactly what you want.
