    Hi,

    I got an animation with parented layers. One master object that moves horizontal, parented to this another object that moves vertical and parented to this an object that hangs below and follows the vertical motion.

    Everything is fine until I want to wiggle the last object in the chain in its motion. If I want to use the wiggler I can’t apply it, although I can of course apply seperate keyframes by hand. Is it not possible to wiggle an object that follows the motion of another parent object already or do I need to script it with the wiggle-expression… is that any different to using the wiggler? Please don’t tell me I need to hand wiggle. Help! 🙂

    Karim

    You need the Wiggle Expression to wiggle a child:

    wiggle (10, 20)

    10 is the Amplitude, 2o the Frequency.

    See this post just down the page if you want to attach a slider to control the wiggle.
