    Hi,

    How do I keyframe scale – just one element, not both – using an expression wiggle?

    I just want it to go bigger and smaller and not mishaped at the same time.

    I’m not sure what you’re asking (I don’t get the part about keyframes)–but to wiggle the same amount in both dimensions, you could do this:

    w = wiggle(1,100);
    [w[0],w[0]]

    Hi Dan,

    Thanks. I’m trying to increase and decreases circle while maintaining a circle, rather than squashing and squeezing it too.

    OK-so did I answer your question, or is there more to it?
