    Hey, I have 3 lines of source text I’d like to wiggle line by line. I’ve got the entire block of text wiggling using wiggle(.3,2) but want each line to wiggle and not the entire block. How would I do this with expressions?

    Using an animator with a wiggly selector would probably be the easiest way.
    In the text layer:
    Choose Animate>Position, it creates a Range Selector and a Position property.
    Remove the Range Selector because it won’t be used, only keep the Position property.
    Set the Position value to something different from [0,0]. This will represent the “wiggle amount”.
    Then do Add>Selector>Wiggly Selector and play with its parameters.

    No expression needed.
