    The wiggler required at least 2 key frames.Check that you have added 2 key frames to the layer,and select the two key frames,then try the wiggler tool.Is it working now?

    Have you read the help file about wiggler?May be you can find some information helpful.
    And if everything is normal,how about reboot your computer?

    You know, since Expressions were added, I haven’t used the Wiggler once. I use the Wiggle expression instead. It doesn’t lock you into keyframes, and is quite variable.

    The Wiggle expression is under the expression drop-down menu, under “property”. For almost all applications, I’ve found that you just need a value for amplitude and one for frequency. Delete the other parameters.

    For more information, look for “expressing your wiggle” at the Adobe Studio.
