Wow this is great! Sorry, but just one more thing. How could I get it to ease-in to the myEndTime?

Thanks, expressions still hurt my brain, but your help is helping me to understand them better!

Dan, this is the expression I’m using (yours from your website). How would I add on to the end of it with the expression you replied with (result…)?

Thanks.

segMin = 1.0; //minimum segment duration
segMax = 3.5; //maximum segment duration
minVal = [0.1*thisComp.width, 0.1*thisComp.height];
maxVal = [0.9*thisComp.width, 0.9*thisComp.height];

end = 0;
j = 0;
while ( time >= end){
j += 1;
seedRandom(j,true);
start = end;
end += random(segMin,segMax);
}
endVal = random(minVal,maxVal);
seedRandom(j-1,true);
dummy=random();
startVal = random(minVal,maxVal);
ease(time,start,end,startVal,endVal);

Um, I tried your expression, Mylenium, and it gave me an error at line 6 and disabled it. Is there something I’m supposed to be entering or do I use your expression line for line, word for word? Is there something that needs to go in the brackets you have designated [my_value]?

Thanks again!

Okay, cool, but bear with me, I’m really new to expressions. So:

Mylenium: After I make a slider, can I connect it to the property I want to animate if it already has an expression attached to it? Would I include my expression into the slider creation and how could I do that?

Dan: Say at a certain point of randomness I like where the say, position, is; Can I make those co-ordinates (or whatever) the “result”? Is that what you were trying to tell me? And can I ease out of the randomness expression into keyframeable attributes again?

Thank you guys so much for answering my questions, really appreciate it!!

Okay, let’s see… Windows XP; Athlon 64+ 3000+ processor (2ghz); 2gb of 3700(?)DDR Ram; AE 6.5 Pro; and Invig 4.6. What might be unusual about my font setup, not sure what you mean.

Hey Jon,
Yes, that worked, it was the compression setting! Thanks so much. Now if I could only figure out why it crashes when I try to use the 3D text setting…

Thanks again!
