This seems to work, but I’m not sure if it’s what you’re after:

n = [];
for (i = 1; i < 5; i++){
  n.push(thisComp.layer("Control").effect(i)(1));
}
n.sort(function(a,b){return a-b})

Maybe like this:

freq = 1;
loopTime = 3;
mid = (key(1).time + key(numKeys).time)/2;
t = time % loopTime;
wiggle1 = wiggle(freq, mid, 1, 0.5, t)-valueAtTime(t);
wiggle2 = wiggle(freq, mid, 1, 0.5, t - loopTime)-valueAtTime(t-loopTime);
w = linear(t, 0,  loopTime, wiggle1, wiggle2);
w + mid

That’s a tricky one. This seems to work until the angles get too extreme (but there’s probably a better way):

v = fromComp([1,0,0]);
v1 = normalize([v[0],0,v[2]]);
v2 = [1,0,0];
radiansToDegrees(Math.acos(dot(v1,v2))) - 90

I guess you could limit the amplitude of the wiggle by changing the third line to something like this:

w = wiggle(freq,mid*0.75) - value;

but then it would never get to the extreme edges, so I’m not sure that’s what you want either.

[Dan Ebberts]

I think you just need to change the order:

temp = thisComp.layer("Audio Amplitude").effect("Both Channels")("Slider");
if(temp < 0) temp=0
[temp, temp]

[Dan Ebberts]

I think this should work:

x = thisComp.layer("Text Size").text.sourceText.toLowerCase();
if (x == "small") s = 80
else if (x == "medium") s = 90
else s = 100;
[s,s]

[Dan Ebberts]

You could try playing around with a time remapping expression like this:

freq = 1;
mid = (key(1).time + key(numKeys).time)/2;
w = wiggle(freq,mid) - value;
mid + w

[Dan Ebberts]

Unfortunately, with expressions, there’s no way to do multiple styles in a single text layer. If it’s not something like color, which you can control with an Animator, you’ll have to use multiple text layers and position everything together using sourceRectAtTime(). Possible, but cumbersome.

[Dan Ebberts]

I think so. It seems to work for me (but I may not understand what you’re asking).

That’s interesting. Apparently, carriage returns in marker comments have both carriage return and line feed characters. Try this:

txt = "";
if (marker.numKeys > 0){
  n = marker.nearestKey(time).index;
  if (time < marker.key(n).time) n--;
  if (n > 0){
    txt = marker.key(n).comment.replace(/\r/g, "").replace(/\n/g, " ");
  }
}
