I think an expression like this for the End property of your Trim Paths would work:

time*100/thisComp.duration

That control was meant to be an angle control (not a slider) where the direction indicated by the control would match the direction of the throw…

Sorry, I’m still getting the hang of how to post code into this new format. Let me try again:

v = thisComp.layer("Control").effect("Velocity")("Slider");
a = thisComp.layer("Control").effect("Angle")("Angle");
d = (time - inPoint)*v;
rad = degreesToRadians(a-90);
value + d*[Math.cos(rad),Math.sin(rad)]

Sorry about that. I typed the – 1 in (rather than pasting the whole line) and the editor here changed it to a different type of minus sign. Just to be sure, I’m going to try pasting in the whole line and see if that works:

parseInt(thisProperty.propertyGroup(3).name,10) – 1

and also try it using the preformatted text control:

parseInt(thisProperty.propertyGroup(3).name,10) - 1

I think you could do this for End:

parseInt(thisProperty.propertyGroup(3).name,10)

and this for Start:

parseInt(thisProperty.propertyGroup(3).name,10) – 1

Yes. You also need to set up the Control layer with the Velocity slider and Angle control.

Like this maybe:

v = thisComp.layer(“Control”).effect(“Velocity”)(“Slider”);

a = thisComp.layer(“Control”).effect(“Angle”)(“Angle”);

d = (time – inPoint)*v;

rad = degreesToRadians(a-90);

value + d*[Math.cos(rad),Math.sin(rad)]

Dan

[Dan Ebberts]

This should work:

moveTime = 2;
pauseTime = 2;

n = Math.floor(time/(moveTime + pauseTime));
d = Math.min(time%(moveTime + pauseTime),moveTime);
t = n*moveTime + d;
wiggle(1,10,1,0.5,t)

This might work better:

period = 13.7; // frames
offset = 5; // first beat relative to in point
seed = Math.floor((timeToFrames(time-inPoint) – offset)/period);
seedRandom(seed,true);
random(-50,50);

[Dan Ebberts]

Where does the first beat occur relative to the layer’s in point?
