    hi. i have a little animation logo and i have my to letters of my company and a little orb circling it. but i want to make the letters just kind of shake or move around or wiggle just a tiny bit so there is some movement in there not them standing still. if you have used after effects im looking for something like the expression called wiggle. PLEASE help me asap. thank you

    There is the vibrate tag. Under Cinema 4D Tags. Probably what you want, very similar to wiggle.

    Or if you have MoGraph, use the mograph text object and apply a random effector with the random mode set to noise or turbulence.

    this works great except for the fact that when ever you turn on any spot the object changes. like when you click position box so you can vibrate the position it moves from the original spot. same with the scale. when you click on it it changes sizes before i even change any dimentions. . . . .

    and what exactly is mograph?

    Yes, but just like wiggle, you can animate it, so you could start it not changing the position and then animate the amount.

    Except it’s easier to animate than wiggle…no expressions or sliders are necessary.

    It’s a Cinema module.

    Did the vibrate tag work for you??

    Render settings> Save > Alpha Channel

    Make sure it is checked.

    im still working on the vibrate but it will work great i think!

    And i did click alpha before and exported to quick time movie and the back ground is still black

    Right, but if you take it into After Effects, the alpha should be present allowing you to drop a background in.
