I will give it a try.
Thanks so much.

Hello, thanks Dan, that’s great.
If you have a second please could you tell me how to add punctuation and text?
For example so it would say Duration – value from expression – seconds,
and so Dimensions are on the same line.
Any tips would be really helpful.
Thank you.

think I figured it out….

control = effect("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox") ;

if (control == 1){
[wiggle(25,25)[0], wiggle(25,25)[1], wiggle(0,0)[2]];
}else{
value;
}

[Jack Parks]

That works.
Thanks for your patience.

Hello

I have been testing out the expression and simplified it a little.
Does it look ok? Would there be any obvious glitches?
How would you specify a frame amount in the duration? (1 at the moment = 1 second).

Thanks for your help with this.

M = marker;
n = 0;
if (M.numKeys > 0){
n = M.nearestKey(time).index;
if (M.key(n).time > time) n--;
}
t = n > 0 ? time - M.key(n).time : 0;
leftMargin = transform.position[0] - effect("Width")("Slider");
rightMargin = transform.position[0] + effect("Width")("Slider");
duration = effect("Duration")("Slider");

x = linear(t,0,duration,leftMargin,rightMargin);
[x,value[1]]

Perfect, thanks.

Thanks for your reply, after effects doesn’t seem to be happy with it, please could I bother you again?
To avoid the problem could the expression work by finding the center and then the left/right margin sliders determine the start and end? or a value is entered say 1000 pixels to travel across.
Thanks again for your help.

Hi Dan
This works great on the alpha bevel effect, is there a way to adapt it to get the opposite angle? So it can be used with colour emboss effect?
Thanks again for your help.

Hello

Thanks for the reply, but if someone has moved the timeline columns into different positions from the default (say they have made the comments tab on the far left and colour labels furthest right) I am trying to find a quick way to reset that to default.
