Amazing! Dan you rule.

thanks Dan! the first one works great but the second one breaks. “Couldn’t turn result into numeric value”.
I wasn’t doing seedRandom for the text position, I was doing this:

myBeat=2.2166723315 ;
posterizeTime(myBeat) ;
wiggle(effect("wiggles / sec")("Slider"),effect("wiggle amount")("Slider"))

Not sure how to translate that into what you suggested.

ok here’s where we’re at so far …
right now the text effects are time-posterized to the BPM of the song.
which is fine, but I’d also like to try making the distortion & text animation change only when the source text changes.
How to do that??? (ie, recalculate the distortion & other effects at every source.text keyframe).

@Dan your awesomeness knows no bounds!

I already have this in the source text expression to do random size & baseline shift:

posterizeTime(.5);
textMinSize=effect("textMinSize")("Slider")
textMaxSize=effect("textMaxSize")("Slider")
bshift=effect("baselineShift")("Slider")
for(let i = 0; i < value.length; i++){
    style = style
        .setFauxBold(parseInt(Math.random()), i, 1)
        .setFontSize(Math.random(textMinSize,textMaxSize), i, 1)
        .setBaselineShift(Math.random(-bshift,bshift), i, 1)
}

I don’t know where in that structure “setAllCaps” would go (in order to randomize the case of individual characters)
