Alright, that worked but when I move the slider they both glow at the same time instead of one glowing a little off from the next and so on ?
And why did I have to set the glow intensity first after disabling the expression and then re-enable the expression for it to work?

wiggle(2,value/2) * thisComp.layer(“Null”).effect(“Glow Amount” ).slider;

I have a layer named “Null”, and a slider named “Glow Amount” and this expression the is on the “glow intensity on the glow on the layer. And it’s not working.

I did what you mentioned and it didn’t work. So I renamed the slider to “glow amount” and now the expression gave no errors but it’s not doing anything?

[Christopher Rotter]

The expression gives me an error there is no such thing as “glow amount” so I changed it to “glow intensity” and it still doesn’t work.

The glows go away entirely. So what I have is a expression on each layer so that each layers glow intensity is different and though one control I can keyframe the glow intensity of all the layers and also keyframe it so that it’s off as in no glow either.

The code in my original post I have applied to (2) test layers. I have a slider which is controlling the glow intensity for those (2) layers, now my goal is have the slider control the random glow intensity. So for example, say you have 10 layers and you want each layer to glow randomly without the use of keyframes, a expression is applied to each layer and all I have to do is keyframe the slider and all the layers would randomly glow on and off via the glow intensity property.

Alright, I have got the glow working by using the slider. The only question is, I duplicated the layer and ran the slider and now both layers glowed based on the slider but how can I have one layer glow when one layer is off using the slider (random) ? Remember I’m using a test composition currently so in the real composition there will be up to 30 layers.

[Christopher Rotter]

How do you apply a expression slider to a null under which property?
Also I have to apply this {expression} to each layer and duplicate the slider
so I can control the randomness of the glow intensity of each layer with the slider ? There is a way to have one control, control all the layers glow intensity but it’s still random (the glow intensity) per layer?

[Christopher Rotter]

Alright, I will follow that suggestion on that message, and get back to you in case I have any problems and or how it worked out.

[Christopher Rotter]

My goal is to have all my layers randomly glow on and off via the glow intensity value in the glow properties. What method and hopefully you have time to show example can you suggest via expressions so I don’t have to use keyframes?
