Make Wiggle Expression grow over time
I have added a simple wiggle(.5,.5) to my camera layer so that my comp has a little shakeyness to it. I have a title come on and I want the wiggle to get more shakey as the comp time goes on. Is there a way to do this? Basically just have the wiggle get more dramatic, is there a way to control that? Thanks!

Add a null layer, name it “camera controls”.
To the null, add two sliders(Effec t> Expression Controls > Slider Control), one named Amplitude, one Frequency (or whatever you want).
In your wiggle expression, wiggle(.5,.5), highlight the first “.5” and then pickwhip to the Frequency Slider, do the same for the second “.0” to the Amplitude Slider, and your expression should look something like this:
wiggle(thisComp.layer(“camera controls”).effect(“Frequency”)(“Slider”),thisComp.layer(“camera controls”).effect(“Amplitude”)(“Slider”))
Now you can keyframe both The Frequency and Amplitude of your wiggle expression, via the slider in the “camera controls” layer.
Note: if the controls are to course or too fine, right click the Amount (0 if reset) then Edit Value, and change the minimum and maximum to taste.
Wow, expressions are cool.

Awesome, I will give that a try. I was just going in the right direction, I added a null object with a slider, but after that didn’t know where to go. Your tips make sense, I will see if I can do it right though. I didn’t know that you could just highlight a value like that and pickwhip it, thats great! Thanks!
