..Problems with the wiggle in a null object..

[John Cuevas]

Add “Expression Controls > Slider Control” to your null layer. Open up both the slider effect and your position expression.

Change the expression to: myFreq = effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
wiggle(myFreq,12)

Now just you can keyframe the frequency of the wiggles. If you were to add another slider and variable, you could also change the amplitude of your wiggles.

Like this:myFreq = effect("Slider Control")("Slider");
myAmp = effect("Slider Control 2")("Slider")
wiggle(myFreq,myAmp)

..Hello friend!!!..

..Ok, I added a slider control to the camera´s null, in the Expression: Position, I put: myFreq = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
wiggle(12,12). In the Slider Control / Slider (null effects), I put 0 in the second 0, in the second 2, I put 50 and for finish, 100 in the second 5. The wiggle is the same in all seconds.. What I did wrong??..

..Thank you…

Right now your expression just says wiggle(12,12), so it will always just be wiggling a 12 pixels.

If I understand what you want to do, you need to change “the how much”(the second number in the wiggle). You need to change the second line of your expression to:
wiggle(12,myFreq).

Hi there,

Here’s a project that will show you how to set up this variable wiggle. Any questions please ask.

…Hello John.. ok, I did it, and it works, but the wiggle´s amplitude is very big.. how can I do to put a amplitude small and more quick??.. I know that I have to put a small number, then, the wiggle would be small (amplitude), but is this case isn´t … In the wiggle, for example, wiggle(1,2), a number have to control the pixel movement and the other value to control other parameter, but i don´t know which is.. Can you help me, please??..

..Thank you!!!…

OopS! Sorry, I saved it as a CS5.5 project. Here’s a link to a CS5 project instead!
