Wiggle expression on shape layer
Hi,
I am creating an animation where a letter is made of up multiple flickering particles. The particles are on one shape layer (imported from an Illustrator file) and I need to apply a wiggle expression to each so they flicker randomly. Rather than having to apply the expression to each particle (super time consuming because I have to animate 11 more letters in the same way), I am wondering if there is a method to apply the expression to them together but still have them flicker individually? I’m pretty new to After Effects, so any help would be much appreciated! Thank you

Sure! So here is one of the letters. I have been able to make each particle flicker with the wiggle expression, but I have had to add it to the opacity of each black particle individually. All of the particles are one shape layer since I made this on Illustrator. I tried adding the wiggle to a null layer but it makes the “M” flicker as one shape not the particles flicker.

Ok, Now I think this is what you want to see https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ifaK5GBcp-Aw4CmrE-N3KjUsGaJv0OCz/view?usp=sharing
And this is my own script which I used in the second way : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1a0NViAe_gCTAXeGF7z_kwdBc0NIpNNy2/view?fbclid=IwAR1W0GbHLffkNELEYOmn6J6FSu1Fvlwbyflz7Q8tO5C8HxRbjQIyjBWL4M0
