Looping a Wiggle in After Effects

You want to combine two expressions, loopOut and Wiggle. That way you can automate your animations but still get a more natural or random result.

Then I show you Dan Ebberts’ option for this which does not need a slider. Finally, I dig out a completely different take which allows you to repeat a wiggle precisely while looping.
