The first step is to create the two slider controls we’re going to link the wiggle expression values to. How to set up your wiggle expression:įor this example we’ll wiggle the position of a 2D text layer. Once the parameters are linked, you can then keyframe your slider controls however you like to create a more dynamic and interesting wiggle. Well, there is a pretty simple way of doing this: all you need to do is link the two wiggle parameters to two different slider controls. So for example, if we had a wiggle expression with the values: wiggle(3,50) - this would mean our wiggle happens 3 times a second, and the value being wiggled would change by plus or minus 50.īut what happens if you need to control the amplitude or frequency of your wiggle expression? The amplitude value controls the size of the wiggle. The frequency value controls how many times per second the wiggle will occur. In its most basic form, the wiggle() expression needs two parameters: frequency and amplitude (in that order). The After Effects wiggle expression is perhaps one of the most well-used expressions in any motion designer’s toolkit.
