  • Looping a wiggle expression that doesn’t need to match up to the first frame

    Hey Everyone

    I have an animation were the postion of the object falls from top to bottom. The object starts out of frame and moves down in a straight path. So there are two keyframes set up on the y-axis. When it reaches the bottom of the comp I have set some keyframes for it to fade out. I then added a loopOut expression to the position property for it to start over as well as for the opacity. But my issue that I’m having is when I try to add a wiggle expression to the position the loop expression stops working and but the wiggle expression works fine.

    This is how i have it set up
    loopOut(“cycle”,0);
    wiggle(5,100)

    and when i write it out this way the wiggle expression doesn’t work but the loop does.
    wiggle(5,100)
    loopOut(“cycle”,0);

    What would be the proper way of writing these two expression so that both of them would work?

    Muchos Thank You’s

    Try it this way:

    loopOut() + wiggle(5,100) – value
