random text letter position
Hello all!
I don’t know if the answer to my question is a potential plug-in or expression… or just a pipe dream, so here goes…
I want to be able to type a word, and then slightly randomize the position of each letter, specifically on the Y axis, giving it a bit more punk look or attitude.
This is a “logo” (using that term loosely) just being built in AE CC for a spec, that’s why I’m not building in PS or AI. Plus, I can type on the letters if I want, which I’m leaning towards.
I’m not necessarily looking to animate the letters, but if that gets me to the end result that’s fine, I can work with that.
Short of typing each letter and manually positioning it, is there a more elegant solution to this?
Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

This is actually really simple.
– Create your text layer
– Add a position animator
– Change the Y value of the position animator to however much of a range you want the letters to vary
– Add a wiggly selector (from the same menu as the animators) and delete the range selector
– Turn wiggles per second to 0 (otherwise it animates)
– If you want to see different variations, just change the number in the random seed.“|_ (°_0) _|”
Sincerely,
George
