Non AE7 question – Wiggling a stroke

[Filip Vandueren]

instead of using the stroke filter, try using the scribble filter.

enable one of the “edge”-fill types instead of the inside -option.

then twirl open Edge-options and set the width to 1

Adjust the stroke-options to control how curve-y the wiggle is.

An unfortunate drawback is that Scribble always has an “angle”, and for some mask, this breaks the line.
You have to experiment with that angle-value as different angles give quite different results, you’ll see what I mean.

So, it does have some drawbacks, and depending on the shape of the path it might or might not work.

A different approach might be to use a soft roughen edges on a normal stroke

Thanks! The roughen edges method actually works pretty well.
