In that case, how are you animating the re-assembly of the image?
-
Are you using the Fractal Field to affect size or opacity?

Here is a thread that discusses how to control wiggle with an expression slider, you can start and stop the wiggle when you want.

You must be working on a laptop. Try Command + Control + M.
Or you can use this script to remap keys:

If you are referring to shape layers, when you first draw the path hold down the option/alt key,
You can then morph the path by selecting any point with the pen tools and the convert vertex tool.

[Julius Smith] “I watched the tutorial but they used boujou and was wondering if anyone has some tutorials with mocha instead.
“This tutorial? https://ae.tutsplus.com/tutorials/vfx/create-a-mograph-urban-jungle-day-2/
It uses Mocha, not Boujou

OK I see now.
The preset applies the Transform effect which does not work on Null Objects.

[Evan Robinson] “Applying wiggle- position or the expression wiggle(1,000) makes a normal layer wiggle”
This will not produce a wiggle since the wiggle amount is 0.
Here is a CS5 file demonstrating that wiggle(1,000) produces no movement on a Solid layer and that wiggle(5,10) produces movement on a Null Object.

[Evan Robinson] “As it turns out, no animation presets or expressions like wiggle(1,000) will change anything. Any one know why?
“I’m assuming you’re applying the expression to the position property.
Wiggle takes multiple parameters or arguments.
You can make it work with the following 2 parameters:
1) frequency
2) amount.So the expression you quote (wiggle (1,000) means wiggle 1 time per second, zero amount. Its not wiggling any distance.
Here are some references for the expression language:

Likely the settings you have starve AE. 12GB may seem like a lot of memory but each process (on a 12 core you have 24 processes) can use up to 3GB.
As well you need to leave some RAM free for the OS and other apps. You may only be able to use 3 or 4 processes and allocate them 2 GB of RAM.
See Todd Kopriva’s notes on optimal use of memory.
I have a 12 core with 32 GB and only use 8 processes with 3GB allocated to each one.
