    Hi!

    i added a “scatter”-effect to a layer and keyframed it from 0 to 30. in order to keep the “scatter-particles” moving i tried to loop the keyframes with various loop-expressions (such as “offset”, “cycle” etc.) but none of them seems to work. has anyone an idea ?

    Did you try Randomize Every Frame?

    Dan is referring to one of the properties in the Scatter effect itself.

    From the Scatter effect section of After Effects Help:

    “Scatter Randomness
    Specifies whether scattering changes at each frame. To animate scattering without keyframes or expressions, select the Randomize Every Frame option.”

    A convenient way to look for answers yourself is After Effects Community Help search.
