I have MB 2.0 It already uses GPU acceleration…but only for timeline previewing. When you actually render out, it does not seem to use the gpu.

awesome, but i’m still a newbie with after effects. how do i implement this expression on all 160 layers? select all and then alt+click position and paste the code doesn’t work? and do i need to set the keyframes? i see k1 and k2, but i didn’t know i can treat keyframes as vars.

yeah that’s what i did. i basically set a keyframe for every layer at the end of my animation to z=0 so everything’s assembled. but it’s the changing all 160 layers to different z values at the first keyframe that’s proving tough. it takes a while, and even then, the results aren’t as dramatic. like some values might be too close together so you have like dozens of pics close together moving in tandem, even though the effect i’m going for is to have them look like they’re all separate.

oh well, i’ll keep plugging away i guess.

yea i just discovered the jarring trasition from wiggle to no wiggle. i have this code to do what i thought i wanted…

if (time < 5.2) wiggle (.35,200) else wiggle (0,0)

how do i add easy ease to the transition? or maybe hold the last wiggle value? thanks for the help!
