Wiggle that “hugs” source value
Hey hey
Is it possible to make a wiggle expression “hug” the source value so that stays closer to it and then less frequently peaks out to the range of the expression?
I’m attempting to duplicate the look of poorly shot stop motion animation shot with a crappy handycam on a tripod (you know, auto settings all on, varying exposures, the occasional camera bump, out of focus frame, etc). At the moment I’ve written wiggle(8,_) with a posterizeTime(8) expressoin to basically hold whatever the results of the wiggle are for 3 frames (24p).
posterizeTime(8);
wiggle(8,_) <<< { "_" is for whatever source value is appropriate for the exposure, position, blur, etc parameters} The results I have are...ok...But I'd prefer it so that the majority (say 80%) of the frames are look proper and decent with MINOR flaws, and the rest are more dramatically affected.

You could try using gaussRandom(minValue, maxValue) instead of wiggle. According to the Adobe help, this will return 90% values between minValue and maxValue, and 10% beyond that range.
