Something like this:

freq = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
amp = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).effect(“Slider Control 2”)(“Slider”);
wiggle(freq,amp)

It’s easiest if you use the pickwhip to set it up.

Have you tried importing the damaged project into a new project? Sometimes that works.

[Dan Ebberts]

I can’t think of any reason that wouldn’t work.

You need to use the layers.add() method, like this:

myImage = myComp.layers.add(myNewFootage);

>on the call to the seedRandom what exactly are index and true flagging?

“index” is the actual seed, “true” says to make it timeless (i.e. random values will persist from frame to frame)

>can I change the 2 and 3 in 2*Math.sin(time*freq*Math.PI*2 + phase) + 3 to variables?

Sure.

>And do you not need a semicolon after each expression?

It’s optional on the last line. It’s really optional on most lines – it’s just safer (and good practice) to put it in.
