I use the layer comment field a lot ( myLayer.comment), which normally isn’t visible in the timeline unless you select that column to be displayed. The same for items in the project bin (myComp.comment, etc.)

This might work, depending on what you have in mind:

loopOut() + (wiggle(.4,150) - value)

[Dan Ebberts]

Since your keyframes are linear, you could do something like this:

sc=thisComp.layer("Controller").effect("Size")("Checkbox").value;
sc ? linear(time,key(1).time,key(2).time,key(1).value,key(2).value - [25,25]) : value

That means to remove any carriage returns from the text. Otherwise textIndex will get messed up if your text has multiple lines.

This will give you the active camera at the current time:

app.project.activeItem.activeCamera

You could try adding a Scale Animator to your text, set the Scale value to 50%, add an Expression Selector (and go ahead and remove the Range Selector), andset the Expression Selector’s Amount expression to this:

txt = text.sourceText.value.replace(/\r/g,'');
txt[textIndex-1] == "%" ? 100 : 0

This is a little better:

freq = 1;
amp = 600;
period = 1;
d = 3*period;
seedRandom(index,true);
t = time + random(d);
n = Math.floor(t/d);
p = t%d;
if (p < period){
  tX = n*period + ease(p,0,period,0,period);
  tY = n*period;
}else if (p < 2*period){
  tX = (n+1)*period;
  tY = n*period + ease(p,period,period*2,0,period);
}else{
  tX = (n+1)*period;
  tY = (n+1)*period;
}
x = (wiggle(freq,amp,1,.5,tX)-value)[0];
y = (wiggle(freq,amp,1,.5,tY)-value)[1];
value + [x,y]

You could try something like this:

freq = 1;
amp = 500;
period = 1;
d = 3*period;
seedRandom(index,true);
t = time + random(d);
n = Math.floor(t/d);
p = t%d;
if (p < period){
  tX = n*period + ease(p,0,period,0,1);
  tY = n*period;
}else if (p < 2*period){
  tX = (n+1)*period;
  tY = n*period + ease(p,period,period*2,0,1);
}else{
  tX = (n+1)*period;
  tY = (n+1)*period;
}
x = (wiggle(freq,amp,1,.5,tX)-value)[0];
y = (wiggle(freq,amp,1,.5,tY)-value)[1];
value + [x,y]

I would think so, but you’d have to define the rules for what should happen in such cases.

A scale expression like this might be all you need:

value*thisComp.width/1920
