You’ll need to add the wiggle expression to the position property

wiggle(freq, amount)

set the freq to your framerate for complete chaos.

Okay, I got the full rotation of the X wind down. Converting the code to the Y wind resulted in multiple crashes. Even when I get that working I’m still limited to just one rotation, 0-360.

This is over my head. Is there a better way to avoid these obstacles?

[Tyler Paul]

The code I’ll be using looks like this.

If the angle is set to 90 degrees the X wind speed will be 30.

t = thisComp.layer(“Adjustment Layer 2”).effect(“Angle”)(“Angle”);

if(t <= 90){ t_min = 0; t_max = 90; Value1=0; Value2= 30; linear(t,t_min,t_max,Value1,Value2) } else { t_min = 180 t_max = 90 Value1 = 30 Value2= 0 linear(t,t_min,t_max,Value1,Value2)} That only covers half the rotation but I think I know what it'll take to cover the entire rotation.

Is that the spot where the corn looks radioactive?

I used a program called dependency walker that makes a tree of all the dlls that get loaded and searches errors. It found nothing out of the norm.

fresh install it is

It took me on the run around.

I used a bunch of the tools on tuneup. Fixed a lot of errors but not mine. That included a disk check. I did clean up a couple hidden devices. Didn’t fix the problem.

I’ve always shut off system restore in the past but apparently I forgot too. I restored to a couple days ago. This is where the new errors popped up. Trying to uninstall came up with a windows validation patch error. To click the installer resulted in an hour glass for a few minutes then nothing. I reinstalled and reran the tests on the tuneup utility. Fixed alot of stuff but not my problem. The patch lead me to the install cleanup utility. Trying to run it resulted in a script failure. I looked up the error and got the script installer from microsoft. Ran the install cleanup utility and removed After Effects. I got a fault error and it crashed. I ran it again, got the error. I ran it a few more times as quick as I could until suddenly AE had been removed and the AE installer worked. I celebrated prematurly.

That damned error popped up again.

I’m thinking I’ll just have to reformat if there aren’t anymore ideas. It would’ve been quicker.

Precomp your animation. Make two copies of the precomp, the top copy being offset by a couple of frames and reduced opacity.

When you do the motion tracking you’ll run into the problem of when the tracking points going off the screen. I’m not sure what the best solution to fixing that little hangup is in this situation. I’ve yet to do a four point motion track that does it.
