Don’t hold your breath while searching or waiting for a Mac based hardware encoder. Hardware encoders typically run on the PC platform or they are stand alone devices. I agree with Chris’ short term solution of finding a vendor to provide encoding services, build the cost into your budget. For a long term solution you’ll need to weigh the cost/benefit ratio of purchasing a hardware encoder for servicing this particular client.

To clarify, are you using the wiggler or a wiggle expression?
The wiggle expression is sort of like a random number generator. When you duplicate a layer the wiggle pattern for each layer is unique.
The wiggler generates keyframes. If you duplicate a layer that has keyframes applied from the wiggler the movements should match exactly.
